The Malibu Lagoon State Beach Reviews
Beautiful beach and unofficial bird sanctuary. Marked paths with interpretive signage dotted all around. Picnic tables and Porto potty bathrooms. Some paid parking but you can easily find parking along the road. Just be careful of the traffic on PCH. Great for bird watching!

Photograph the Iconic Malibu Pier
Less than a mile South from the small town center, Malibu Pier stretches out into the Pacific. The Pier has been in Malibu since 1905 and though much of Malibu has been built up around it, it has remained quite similar to when it was first constructed. You can either pay for parking right at the entrance to the pier or find free parking along PCH.Malibu as a whole is a very photogenic beach tow...
Surf Malibu Point
Malibu point is an iconic surf spot located in Malibu, California. It's a very popular summer time spot due to the exposure to south swells. The majority of people longboard this surf spot. It's a very iconic wave with lots of history!
The wave itself is a long right-hand point break that is relatively forgiving.
Rising Sun Trail, Solstice Canyon
To reach the trail, head up the stairs from the parking lot, giving glimpses of the coast. In 0.1 miles, after crossing a paved road, turn right onto Rising Sun.
For an easier hike through the canyon, take Solstice Canyon Trail, which is a mix of paved road and fire road, although likely to have more people than Rising Sun.
The Old Topanga Lookout Tower
The old Topanga Lookout Tower is the best hidden sunset spot in the Hills above Malibu!
Take a quick drive up the winding backroads of Las Flores Canyon road. Once at the top, you can park near the Lois Ewen Overlook and follow the dirt road. Its a short 20-25 min hike back with smaller trails veering off as well as rock climbing spots along the cliffs below. Come for golden hour for some amaz...
Hike and Rock Climb at Saddle Peak
This is one of my favorite hikes in the Los Angeles area. Super easy, yet beautiful and a perfect place to get away from the city.Parking for the trailhead is where the three roads intersect. The parking area is a long strip of dirt, there will most likely be cars there when you arrive already there. The trailhead can be a bit hard to find, if you are looking at the ocean step out into the stre...
The Labyrinth at Tuna Canyon Park
This is a simple but steep 2.4 mile round-trip hike to a clearing on a mountaintop in Topanga/Malibu, about an hour's drive west of downtown LA. At the end of the hike you'll reach a clearing with incredible views. On a cloudy or foggy day, it feels like you're floating above the clouds; on a clear day, you'll have a panoramic ocean view and may be able to see the Santa Monica Pier and the LA s...
