Tips

To extend the trip, add a day trip to Joshua Tree National Park for hiking and stargazing, or spend an extra night in San Diego for a coastal cultural experience. If you need to shorten the itinerary, combine Day 3 and Day 4 by focusing on the beach and the Getty in a single day, and skip the Malibu day—this still offers a balanced mix of urban, cultural, and coastal highlights.
