Spend the morning at Zuma Beach, known for its beautiful coastline and waves perfect for surfing. Once you’ve soaked up the sun, head to Malibu Creek State Park for a scenic hike up to the M*A*S*H* set, which offers breathtaking views of the park. End the day at Malibu Wines, a vineyard that offers tastings and live music.
Start the day with art at The Getty Villa, an educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria. After, enjoy a delicious lunch at Malibu Farm Pier Café, which offers fresh, organic local food that is also Instagram-worthy. In the afternoon, visit the Adamson House, a Spanish Colonial Revival-style mansion and museum with ocean views and a unique history. End the night at Nobu Malibu, a restaurant known for its food and drinks, and celebrity sightings.
It is recommended to rent a car as public transportation in Malibu is limited. Renting a car for two days can cost approximately $60-$100, depending on the type of vehicle. Uber and Lyft are also available, but prices can vary depending on demand and time of day.
If you have more time, consider taking a scenic drive along the famous Pacific Coast Highway, or visiting other nearby attractions such as the Point Dume State Beach or El Matador State Beach. If you have less time, skip the wine tasting or the Adamson House, but still make sure to visit at least one beach for the complete Malibu experience.
