For your convenience, it is highly recommended to rent a car for your Malibu adventure. Some places, such as Malibu Creek State Park, require a vehicle to reach. Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft are also available, but they may be more expensive and less convenient than having your vehicle. Drive times to popular destinations will vary depending on the time of day and traffic. An excellent option to avoid traffic is to take the coastal route along the Pacific Coast Highway.
If you have more time, consider checking out the Malibu Farmer's Market, happening every Sunday morning. Additionally, you can take surf lessons at Malibu's Surf Shack or ride horses on the beach with the Sunset Ranch Hollywood. If you have less time, choose your favorite activities from each day and skip the rest. Keep in mind that many of the scenic drives, such as the Pacific Coast Highway can take longer than expected, so allow extra time for traffic and parking.
