I came here in late September for a soundbath experience to celebrate a friend's birthday. I was…read morevaguely familiar of what soundbaths were like, and it was truly a restorative experience! It takes place in a private residence in the Malibu so you're not given the address until a few days before your scheduled appointment. Kirscha and Luca were very nice and welcoming; they led us to the area where they conducted the soundbath and it was spacious, clean, and I felt very comfortable. Rather than give everything away about the experience, I will say this: it was truly relaxing! I wasn't sure what to expect; there were areas where they didn't physically touch me, but I felt tenderness in the area the next day (the vibrations from the soundbath affect tense areas in the body). After it was over, I felt very mellow and at ease. In terms of price, I would say this one is on the higher end, but your experience is worth it as you look at the view- the expanse of the ocean, the crisp fresh ocean breeze, I really had a lovely time.

Solstice Canyon is one of those places that quietly reminds you why Malibu is special. The trail is…read moreeasy and well-maintained, but still feels like you've stepped away from the city and into something calmer. The creek, little waterfalls (especially after rain), and the ruins tucked into the canyon make the walk interesting without feeling crowded or overwhelming. What I love most is how peaceful it feels. You get ocean air drifting in, birds everywhere, and just enough shade to make it comfortable even on warmer days. It's perfect for a relaxed hike, a slow morning walk, or taking out-of-town friends who want something scenic without a hardcore climb. Parking can fill up, especially on weekends, but once you're on the trail it's totally worth it. If you're looking for a mellow hike with history, nature, and classic Malibu vibes, Solstice Canyon is a solid choice.

I would ask for her if you can request a guide. Would definitely recommend this as a three hour event to get outside and enjoy nature as well as wine.

It is mainly locals here, which is amazing because it is so clean. If you have to other beaches in California or LA, you will be amazed by how there is no trash at the beach. There is free street parking, but I decided to pay for parking at the end of the lot. It is $8, no ins and outs. Lots of parking at this lot, but they do close at 8:30pm. I want to come back again because this place is just too beautiful.

Malibu Lumber Yard is like a girl that used to be hot in high school, got strung out on meth after…read moregraduation, and has been sober and getting her life back together for the past few years. It still looks like a nice building, but most of the units are vacant, the common area is missing some of the nicer decorations it had in the past (e.g., fishtanks, plants, etc.), and there is hardly any foot traffic. Hopefully they bounce back and get some tenants that will breathe some new life into the place, but based on how many people left and didn't come back after the fires earlier this year and how slow the rest of the city is recovering, it could be a while before we see any real improvement here.

I have never been to the Lumber Yard when it was busy or crowded, so it's a great spot to relax and chill for a bit. I like the outdoor aquariums. Very nice touch! I haven't shopped much here. Kitson always had cute, fun stuff but they are gone now. James Perse is cool and their shop is beautiful. I think many of the shops here are for women, so if you want ladies clothing with Malibu style, this would be a good spot. Café Habana. Excellent! The real reason to hit the Lumber Yard. For drinks or for a meal, I always enjoy this place.

A beautiful stretch of beach that's always a must. Along the famous highway 1, it's a nice big…read morebeach thats for perfect day outing. Parking wise, there's street parking along PCH, paid parking lot on PCH, street along the beach as well as another paid lot on the beach. Depending on the time, parking is a bitch as it's always full. It's a pretty wide stretch of beach so there's plenty of spaces for laying out and so on. One side has all the volleyball court. We arrived around 11:30 and luckily found street parking along the beach. It was nice out, sunny and a good amount of people along close to the water. We found a spot and made ourself comfortable. There was a good half dozen or so school buses parked where the volleyball courts are. Either a summer camp or school is back in session and it was a beach day. The odd thing, after an hour we arrived, the clouds started to roll in. Within minutes, it went from sunshine to overcast and gloomy. Stayed like that for a good hour and half. Even looking out to the hillside, it was so gloomy that you couldn't see down the beach. When the clouds burned off, it was back to beautiful beach weather. Lifeguard towers were in full force. We did notice that security on four wheelers were patrolling. They did questioned some people. It's a beautiful stretch of beach if you haven't been. The water was beautiful and looked clean but the waves were on a different level. They were pretty massive so lifeguards were on full force. People did go in the water but not a lot. To make it more magical, there were schools of dolphins swimming close by the shore. Even more fun, you could see them basically surfing the waves. That brought everyone on their feet trying to get the perfect picture. There's a good amount of restrooms and showers. It was actually clean which is a major plus. There's also a little lagoon that's a hangout for all the seagulls and pelican. Sand was soft and hot. Beach was clean, water was clean so it's was a good experience. It's a must if you haven't been.

Waves are great, lifeguards are present and plenty of beach space to picnic. There's really no bad time of year to come, though in the summer months it definitely gets more crowded. I wish there were more trash cans present on the beach part as well as some sort of food options available. I know there used to be some small food stands, but they have since closed. Love coming here with the family for a beach picnic. Love that the bathrooms have showers to rinse off after a day of playing in the sand.

MALIBU PIER @ MALIBU…read more Parking is available on the street, but it does get pretty busy since this is a major tourist area. I'd recommend starting to look for street parking once you're about three minutes away. There is parking nearby, but you'll most likely have to pay for a lot or structure. I came here with my friends on a weekend, and it was very crowded. There are tons of restaurants along the pier and surrounding area, plus a lot of seagulls and pigeons everywhere. The pier itself has so much going on -- vendors selling little souvenirs like magnets, lots of people walking around, and overall just a very lively atmosphere. The weather was absolutely beautiful when we went -- super sunny and bright -- which made the experience even better. While it does get crowded and some areas feel a bit tight, that's kind of part of the charm. There's always something happening, and it feels energetic and exciting. The pier is very walkable, so I'd definitely recommend wearing comfortable shoes since you'll probably be walking around for a while. One thing to note though: even if it's sunny during the day, it can get pretty chilly, especially with the ocean breeze, so make sure to bring a jacket. Overall, I'd highly recommend stopping by on a busy weekend if you want that lively, classic pier experience. It's crowded, but it's beautiful and full of energy.

It's not a major big pier but still quite nice for a wander. Not only the pier, you also have Malibu Farms right at the entrance. Food and drinks with a beautiful view. It does get busy so parking can be a major bitch. Street parking or the lot depending on which one you find. There's a few benches along the pier. People fishing and enjoying their time. The crowd is always nice which everyone is all here for the same thing. To enjoy the pier. It's also a big tourist attraction. There's not much on it but it still an amazing place to visit. There's view on either side is beautiful but a lot has change since the fires but the beauty is still there. Down below, a good stretch of beach to enjoy. Laying out on the sand, cooling off under the pier or fishing along the sand. It's a nice place to check out if you haven't been.

There's also a toy store which I've contributed to Toys for Tots at last Christmas. The center has a park in the center where they annually install festive holiday decor. It's never dull. It's always fun and I always find great clothes or gifts here. It's a perfect family stop with something for everyone.
