What are some of the area’s best natural attractions?

Malibu has the most magnificent nature — not only the beautiful beaches but the canyons and hills with waterfalls and hiking. Malibu "Surfrider" Beach is one of the most famous surfing spots in the world and is right next to the pier. There's also Big Dume Beach at Point Dume, which is a popular whale watching spot during the gray whale migration. For hiking, Solstice Canyon is beautiful, and there's also a two-hour hike deep into the mountain canyons to Escondido Falls.

How would you di erentiate Malibu’s communities for potential homebuyers, and which communities are the most exclusive?

The most exclusive communities in Malibu include Paradise Cove, Malibu Colony, Carbon Beach, Malibu Road, and Serra Retreat.
