We’ve been blessed over the last year to & Visitor Alliance get to know our friends, neighbors and partners better than ever. Crisis can force us to pull together in ways we never expected. The Woolsey Fire of November 2018 was a catastrophe on any scale; family homes lost and damaged, businesses affected, loss of life, natural environments eradicated and landmarks destroyed will never be fully quantified. Heros Pulled Together Character was tested by the fire and our area residents passed the test with flying colors. Saving homes, rescuing animals, feeding firefighters all represented selfless acts of a community that cares. One of the most spontaneous actions was the “Paradise Cove Boat Lift.” Residents, business owners and employees acted quickly to mobilize the delivery of sorely needed food, water and other supplies by boat. Cut off from access to essentials like food and water, quick minds reached out to friends and family and coordinated deliveries of supplies to boats in Marina del Rey, then shipped them to the waters just off shore at Paradise Cove. The last leg of the shipment came to shore via Jet Ski, kayak and paddleboard, a remarkable chain that was created while fires were burning all around. These heros of Paradise Cove are an example of the many acts of heroism both large and small in all the affected communities. Fire and good will both know no boundaries.

Malibu Pier

The iconic Malibu Pier offers 360-degree views not to be missed—and so much more. The Malibu Pier is recognizable from every angle—it is the symbol of Malibu. With views of dolphins, surfers, sailboats, Catalina Island, the occasional celebrity, landscapes and an offering of food and shopping, the pier is central to experiencing our town. Its rich and varied history adds to the allure. Serving Malibu since its inception as a private ‘working’ pier in 1905, the Malibu Pier is historically significant, architecturally unique and one of the great piers on the West Coast. Built by Frederick Rindge, a member of the founding family of Malibu, he unknowingly created an important part of the town’s living legacy. His purpose was simple: to send off produce, leather hides and other ranch products to market during a time when ground transportation was slow, expensive and unreliable. Conversely, it allowed machinery, building materials and other goods necessary to run a modern ranching operation, known as the Malibu Rancho, back into town. A private rail system ran those products to and from the loading dock on the pier.

have a pole, you can rent one along with tackle and bait from Ranch at the Pier. Our famous Malibu Pier is not infallible. It has had many lives since its inception, having been destroyed by storms numerous times and subsequently rebuilt. For years the pier had been intermittently closed; currently it has remained opened since 2017. Eventually the pier was designated as a California State Historical Site and became part of the California State Parks. The pier is a neighbor to the historic Adamson house to the west, and, to the east, the once booming Malibu Potteries. Although long gone, Malibu Potteries producedbeautiful tiles from natural clays found along our coast.

he Malibu Pier was open for fishing in 1934 and has been used by the public, private and government sectors ever since. The U.S. Coast Guard used it for coastal defense during World War II. After the war, the end of the pier was expanded and buildings that still stand today were added and remain with the architectural style common for the mid-1940s. Los Angeles County Lifeguards currently use the pier to moor their patrol boats and local command center. Sport fishing and fishing charters began in earnest in the 1960s. With fishing from the pier, shore fishing and charters, Malibu was a popular place for fisherman from all over Southern California. The best-known fishing charter was the Lenbrooke, which was guided by Captain Bill Hutchinson. The rich waters up to a mile offshore are known as Kellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shelter Bay, and an artificial reef has been built to protect the pier and provide habitat for numerous species of fish. Anyone can still fish from the Malibu Pier, and a California State Fishing License is not required. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

A Family’s Love Of Wine Owned and operated by the Hirsh family since 1999, family patron Richard Hirsh’s love of wine and exacting eye on detail has created the Cielo of today. Through Richard’s dream, Cielo pours some of the very best wines created in the Malibu Coast A.V.A. Richard along with his wife and late brother Bill developed a deep love of wine over the decades especially influenced by French wines from the region of Bordeaux. While on a bike ride in the Santa Monica Mountains, Richard discovered the property that he fell in love with and eventually purchased to build his family home. During construction the fill dirt was used to plant a few Cabernet vines.

KING GILLETTE RANCH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Secret Treasure.

: : WHAT TO DO IN MALIBU

BY KAREN YORK

ne of the most beautiful locations in the Santa Monica Mountains, the 588-acre King Gillette Ranch is situated just a short drive from downtown Malibu in the heart of the Malibu Creek Watershed and adjacent to Malibu Creek State Park. The ranch offers a rare unspoiled view of California’s rich cultural and historic resources, including the ancient site of a local Chumash Indian village. Many of the existing structures were designed for razor blade magnate King C. Gillette in the 1920s by Wallace Neff, architect of California’s Golden Age. Like the Gillette Mansion, Neff’s works were still sought after by wealthy people and celebrities. Built in the Spanish Revival style, the mansion is an excellent example of this typically California architectural tradition. The mansion features a long eucalyptus-lined grand entry, pond, broad lawns, a formal courtyard, terrace and bridges. The tile work, open-beam ceilings and wrought ironwork beautifully showcase the period in which the mansion was built. The former stable of this iconic architectural treasure now houses the Anthony C. Beilenson Visitor

Center. Built in the former stables of the King Gillette Ranch, the transformation from housing horses to hosting visitors preserved the appearance of the original structure while creating an attractive, accessible, creative and energy-efficient edifice. Let the Visitor Center serve as the beginning of your adventures in the Santa Monica Mountain National Recreation Area or just as an introduction. Enjoy the many fascinating exhibits curated for adults and children, and don’t miss the center’s gift shop featuring camping and hiking supplies, gifts, clothing, souvenirs and publications. Beillenson Visitor Center features numerous colorful, entertaining and educational exhibits highlighting the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and its myriad of historic and natural resources. Exhibits focus on the area’s plants, animals, human history, watershed and weather. Don’t miss the center’s impressive interactive relief map. After touring the exhibits, children can earn deputy ranger status and receive their own junior U.S. Park Ranger badge.

Pets: Dogs are only allowed on National Park Service property (adjacent to the visitor center). Dogs are not allowed on the rest of the property at King Gillette Ranch.

A visit to the Ranch and Visitors Center would not be complete without a stroll, walk, trek or hike into the area’s broad meadows and along the row of ridgelines that serve as a wildlife corridor in the geographic epicenter of the Santa Monica Mountains. Several sensitive species are present. Raptors and other birds forage and nest among the plants, live oak, grassland, coastal sage scrub, chaparral, riparian woodland and southern willow vegetation. A short, somewhat steep hike leads to a knoll, known as Inspiration Point, with 360-degree views—including the famous rock formations of Malibu Creek State Park. Many events are held at King Gillette ranch including seasonal events, art exhibits, movie night, Live Reptile and Amphibian Show, Bird Fest and Medicinal Plant walk, to name a few. Public interpretive programs, including weekly campfires in the summer, are offered by park staff. Overnight accommodations, meeting rooms, auditorium and park areas are available for special events, including weddings, by special use permit. Many films and television shows have also been based at the King Gillette Ranch. Whether starting your adventure at King Gillette Ranch Visitor Center or spending the day there, the trip will engage visitors of all ages.

MALIBU Meet the Farmers Who Picked it & the Chefs Who Cooked It

Malibu Farmers Market, coined by the Malibu Times Magazine as the “chef’s secret”, is a delicious destination for anyone who is passionate about culinary delights or wants to explore the beautiful coastline, watch the rich and famous, and dine on exotic unique healthy foods.

Farmer's

Café Gluten free vegan options Located in the Malibu Farmer’s Market Every Sunday 10-3pm

Dine casually alfresco while enjoying a wide range of freshly prepared tantalizing dishes

The market exercises impeccable discernment by selecting the vendors who feature a rotating variety of world cuisines that include Thai, Indian, Japanese, Ayurvedic gourmet and French delights... cuisine is king at the Malibu Farmers Market. For a true dining anshopping experience, this is the place to be on Sundays! Founder Debra Bianco is a second generation Italian New Yorker, who grew up in the kitchen, surrounded by a love of food. She and her mother would wander the street markets looking for the very best. “When we cooked, we cooked with love”. You can definitely feel the love at the Malibu Farmer’s Market. If you ask Debra about this amazing foodie scene and the celebrities that come every week, she will not talk about that to protect their anonymity. She wants the food to be the stars. While enjoying and savoring the food varieties in the famed Farmer’s Cafe, you can stroll through this enchanting Farmers

Market and feel the ocean breeze. Let your creative side roam in their FM Boutique replete with artisan crafts, baskets and unique clothing. Another stand out quality about Malibu Farmer’s Market is the importance of community to the market itself and also to the founder Debra Bianco, which is what birthed the Long Table events which are planned to glow under a white tent every other month to benefit various environmental causes. The food is a medley of dishes hand picked from the market’s vendors and farmers. The next brunch will raise money to help animal victims of the recent wildfires and mudslides. Events like these make the Malibu Farmer’s Market a unique, community gem. Various causes that the market and Foundation have supported include: California Wildlife Center, Nature Bridge, St. Martins Animal Foundation, Western Alliance for Nature and Poison Free Malibu. In addition, the Cornucopia Foundation has supported nature education through the Cornucopia Environmental Learning Center adjacent from Malibu High School. Where else can you dine, shop and know that the profits are going towards helping and conserving our beautiful planet. The future of our planet is not by chance, but by choice. 2019/2020 : :

Family Fun in and around Malibu Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the smiles, the giggles of excitement, and the awe of wonder that are the building blocks of memories that last a lifetime. Malibu and the Santa Monica Mountains present abundant opportunities for families to create those memories.

King Gillette Ranch Visitor Center

A Family-Friendly Hike

A wonderful starting point for family fun is the Visitor Center at the King Gillette Ranch located near the corner of Mulholland Highway and Las Virgenes Road (Note: The Malibu side of Las Virgines Road is called Malibu Canyon Road). This beautifully designed space was once the stable for the Gillette Mansion. The Center has numerous well planned exhibits covering topics such as area plants, animals, history and the geology and geography. Located right next door to the Ranch is Malibu Creek State Park. The park offers easy hikes and bike trails the entire family can enjoy. Flowing year around, Malibu Creek meanders through the park providing large rocky ponds for the areas abundant wildlife.

A hike in Solstice Canyon at Corral Canyon, provides a great family adventure. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re carrying your little one, using a stroller or chasing your toddler or teen, this fairly gentle sloping trail parallels a babbling creek as it winds through tree shaded glens and sunny meadows. Eventually, you will find yourselves among the ruins of home that could be a setting from Indiana Jones. Then, stroll just a bit further to the secret waterfall behind the old structures. The 3 mile roundtrip hike is dotted with numerous shady rest stops and there are bathroom facilities at the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance. Visitors should arrive early as parking is limited.

Surfing and Water Sports

Surfing in Malibu

SUSI MANNERS

Few names are as entwined in surf culture as Malibu. From the historic development of surfing in California to Hollywood surf cinema, Malibu is still a very real surf town. Other water sports such as stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, SCUBA, snorkeling and kiteboarding are all here in Malibu. Surf and sport shops are sprinkled all along the 21 miles of South facing coastline serving the needs of all watersports. The Big Kahuna of course is surfing, but with its popularity comes crowding and other factors that help drive the growth of alternative water sports.

Surfrider Beach – Malibu’s Surfing Epicenter The center of Malibu surf culture is Surfrider Beach in central Malibu. The beach has three primary point breaks and is the place of both real surfing and Hollywood’s fictional surfers. Artfully named First Point, Second Point and Third Point, all three points promise waves for every experience levels from beginners to expert surfers. The main portion of Surfrider is exclusively dedicated to surfers and swimming in this area is prohibited. A dedicated area

: : WHAT TO DO IN MALIBU

for swimmers is clearly marked between Surfrider and the pier. Anyone can enjoy great views of the surf action from the upper beach slopes near the historic Adamson House or the end of Malibu Pier. Calling back to the mid 1950’s when Kathy Kohner earned the nickname Gidget, a mash-up of Girl and Midget. Surfers gave her that name when she bribed them for surf lessons with peanut butter sandwiches. Featured in a novel then subsequent movie and TV series, Gidget

GRAPHICS BY ANTHONY MCDEMAS

elevated both surfing and California ‘girl power’ into the national spotlight. The Surfrider legend started long before Sandra Dee starring in Gidget hit the movie theaters in 1959. In 1965 Gidget, played by Sally Field, was a one season television wonder. Surfrider was the location for much of Big Wednesday in 1978 which followed surfers seeking the perfect wave. The Surfrider reality exceeded the legend when world famous surfer Laird Hamilton ‘shot the pier’ riding epic waves churned by Hurricane Marie off Baja Mexico. Ironically it happened on a Wednesday in 2014 and can still be viewed on YouTube.

at the Malibu Pier. Malibu Surf Shack (MSS) rents surfboards, stand up paddleboards and kayaks. Their professional staff conducts group and private lessons for any of the watercraft. Renters are assisted from the beach past the break to make both launching and

landing easy and safe. MSS runs a Summer Surf Camp for children ages 7 to 17 from June through August. Kids will enjoy learning how to surf from surf instructors with years of teaching experience. Malibu Surf Shack has a highly trained team of expert surf guides

that can ensure the Malibu surf experience will be ‘most excellent’. Malibu Surf Shack, located across from Surfrider Beach has all the goods both rookie and veteran surfers needs including surfboard sales, rentals, wetsuits, wax and everything in between.

Drill conveniently provides both sales and rental of surf gear. Drill’s skateboard selection is one of the best in all of Malibu. Drill has a wonderful collection of vintage skateboards displayed on its walls.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding and Kayaking Surf is dependent on many factors such as tide, swell and time of year, sometimes the waves are too small to surf. When surf is lacking stand up paddle boarding and kayaking are very attractive ways to get on the water. Like surfing, rentals and lessons are available at many locations. Unlike surfing, stand up paddleboards and kayaks are much easier to enjoy and greater distances can be traveled. Water safety is always important so life vests, expert instruction and outfitting are highly recommended. Outfitters like Malibu Surf Shack can provide safe equipment, instruction and assist you with safe launching and landings. The view into clear waters off Surfrider reveal a world beneath the surface thriving with fish, kelp forest and the occasional seal or dolphin. Looking back up at the majestic Santa Monica Mountains from just a few hundred feet offshore delivers a sublime perspective. As lovely as the view from the beach is, you simply cannot appreciate the same perspective that you get from the water. Whatever you choose, make the most of your Malibu experience, have fun, stay safe and get ‘stoked’ on the waters of Malibu.

Visitors from all over the world stop to pay their respects and remember the fallen. The month-long tribute is both moving and stunning.

The garden is located at one of the highest points on the Malibu campus and stands as an outdoor chapel, a place of honor, reflection and, especially, remembrance. It is meant to be a peaceful place in a turbulent world. It will serve many purposes, perhaps some we do not even envision.

such as Mile High Chocolate Cake are noteworthy and favorites for sharing. Morris calls his philosophy of customer care ‘Guestology.’ And frequent visitors will recognize the same employees time and time again—as many are career employees because not only are guests treated with the highest standards, but the employees are also treated like family. Morris is the pioneer in environmentally friendly dining and is behind the development of a pasta straw, which is currently in production and available for other restaurants that can also be ocean friendly and plastic conscious. PCBC offers a dining experience not easily forgotten.

Scorpion Cove, Santa Cruz Island

: : WHAT TO DO IN MALIBU

he coast along Malibu and Santa Monica Mountains promises enriching experiences that include the natural wonders of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica Bay, Channel Island National Park, Catalina Island, rich fishing beds and whale watching. More than thirty miles that stretch from Santa Monica to Point Mugu is some of the most beautiful coastline in the world. Push that out into the Santa Monica Bay and beyond to coastal islands and there is world that can only truly be discovered by boat. Many celebrity homes can be seen from the ocean but are hidden behind gates and walls on land. The Malibu Pier is slated to start coastal cruises from the pier later this year, but until then the two closest access points to these experiences is Channel Islands Harbor and Marina Del Rey.

MARK CORCORAN

Channel Islands Harbor About a half hour to the west of Malibu is Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard. Whether you rent a jet ski or explore the harbor in an electric Duffy boat, Channel Islands Harbor (CIH) is filled with fun and adventure for the whole family. Harbor side dining, shopping and parks make Channel Islands Harbor a noteworthy stop for area residents and visitors. One of the many distinct vessels you may see is the H2O Bus, a turquoise 1967 Volkswagon van. The all-electric boat is set with a VW dash, steering wheel and sound machine replicating the authentic sound of a revving VW engine. CIH is the ideal gateway to visit the islands that make up Channel Islands National Park, which is thought of as “America’s Galapagos Islands”. Five remarkable islands in this coastal chain are mere 11 miles from the harbor. 2019/2020 : :

Along the way you may see playful dolphins, huge sea turtles and sea lions on rocky outcroppings. One of the land-based rarities is the Torrey Pines grove on Santa Rosa Island. This ancient grove was once part of the Torrey Pines grove near La Jolla but was separated by tectonic movement over thousands of years.

Island Packers Cruises (IPC) operates a variety of cruises year around. Popular cruises include whale watching during the annual migration of gray whales between breeding lagoons in Baja Mexico and rich feeding grounds in the Gulf of Alaska. IPC runs regular tours of the Anacapa Islands, Santa Rosa Island and Santa Barbara Island. These islands, all part of the Channel Islands National Park, provide access to rarely seen natural wonders on land and sea. IPC tours include scenic rides to the islands along with walking tours on the islands with rich history and undeveloped landscapes. IPC operates kayak tours including sea caves like Painted Cave on Santa Cruz Island, which is one of the largest sea caves in the world, can only be visited by kayak or boat.

Another approach to our coastal islands is from the air with Channel Islands Aviation flying out of nearby Camarillo Airport. Start your adventure with a short 25 minutes jaunt to Santa Rosa Island with its white, sandy beaches, Torrey Pine Forest, Cherry Canyon and the historic Vail Ranch. The company also offers camping and half day hiking trips to San Miguel Island where, after 40-minutes of flightseeing including Anacapa, Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands from the air, you begin your island adventure landing on the island’s dirt runway. Popular island attractions include the caliche forest (sand-castings of ancient vegetation), fossil bones of the Pleistocene pygmy mammoths that stood four to six feet at the shoulders, 150 years of ranching history, and numerous shipwrecks. Whether you are interested in life of the past or life of the present, San Miguel Island has it in abundance.

“The doors of this library are open now and all are welcome. The judgment of history is left to you, the people.” — Ronald Reagan

Berlin Wall

The American Presidency comes alive at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, where 18 galleries and dozens of interactive displays wait to entertain, educate and excite you. Open since 1991, but wholly renovated in 2011, the galleries were designed to bring history to life. Where else in California can visitors walk onboard an actual Air Force One aircraft that flew seven U.S. presidents, touch an authentic piece of the Berlin Wall, or lay a hand on a real steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center after 9-11? Visitors will not just learn about the history of the American Presidency, but will immerse themselves in Ronald Reagan’s path to the White House. Starting back in his days as a sports radio announcer to his years as a Warner Brothers movie actor and then the host of GE Theater, visitors step into his shoes, through the use of Green Screen technology, and call a Cubs game, introduce a GE Theater, and even act in a movie! Follow President Reagan to the White House and deliver the Presidential Inauguration through the use of a teleprompter. Travel the world on diplomatic missions 2019/2020 : :

Visitors may also enjoy the Library’s outdoor grounds, where guests can stroll through a replica of the White House Rose Garden or the White House West Lawn. Numerous picnic benches across the property encourage guests to eat outside enjoying the gorgeous vistas. For those who want to eat indoors, the Reagan Library is also home to two restaurants, Reagan’s Country Café and The Ronald Reagan Pub. But the Reagan Library strives to be more than just a memorial to the

late President. It is also a community resource with revolving world-class exhibitions, family-friendly events, and abundant public programming. Two to three times per year the Reagan Library puts on special exhibitions. This summer, from May 24, 2019 through September 8, 2019 the Reagan Library will host The World of da Vinci, a 10,000 square foot exhibition showcasing his machines and artwork. The exhibit examines Leonardo da Vinci -- an artist and inventor who created the most incredible works of beauty, designed the most frightening war machines intended for death and

destruction, and invented flying machines 400 years before man took to the skies. For the first time ever, two original folios of the authentic, 600-year-old Codex Atlanticus, over three dozen reconstructions of Leonardo da Vinci’s extraordinary machines, as well as a more modern take on da Vinci’s work including five original Warhol paintings featuring da Vinci’s Last Supper have been brought together for this one-of-akind special exhibition. Following the da Vinci exhibit library will feature Egypt’s Lost Cities. The Reagan Library is also home to year-round public programming. Free events for families are held every Presidents’ Day, the Fourth of July and Veterans Day. Speaker’s series and book signings are held a handful of times per month,

so it’s always a good idea to check the Reagan Library’s calendar to see what event or program might be going on while you’re in town. From Air Force One to historic photos and video to interactive games to exquisite landscaped grounds, to special exhibitions and events, the Reagan Library is truly one of the most unique and beautiful travel destinations in southern California. The Library is sure to be a fun, entertaining and educational experience for everyone, of every age, in your group. Open seven days a week, the Reagan Library is only closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

Horseback

The Santa Monica Mountains on

through the Malibu Creek area. Each year 50 to 100 riders saddle up and head out on a ride divided into three groups based on the riders’ skill level and speed. Both riders and horses love this jovial gathering followed by an old fashion ‘dusty-boot’ BBQ. One of the oldest community organizations in Malibu is Trancas Riders and Ropers. This group has been faithfully serving the equestrian community since 1952 at the Malibu Equestrian Park adjacent to Malibu High School. Their programs include horse shows, rider training, education, summer camps and outreach to children who might not have an opportunity to ride horses.

ore than 500 miles of horsefriendly trails crisscross the Santa Monica Mountains and the view from atop a horse can’t be beat. Horse owners can access many of these trails from trailheads that accommodate horse trailers. The mother of all trails is the Backbone Trail that spans 67 miles from Will Rogers State Park in Santa Monica to Point Mugu in Ventura County. This trail was created through the collective vision and will of many dedicated individuals, public agencies and private landowners. Horse riders and hikers that share this trail also share in the sweeping views, rock passes and shady glens along the way. Longtime mountain resident and open space advocate Ruth Gerson rode the entire trail along with her Backbone Trail Cowgirls in 2016, inspiring other riders and hikers to complete this epic journey. For those who don’t own horses, Malibu Riders provides horses and guides for rides through some of the most scenic yet accessible trails starting at Paramount Ranch just outside of Agoura Hills. The one-hour, threemile loop crosses the Malibu Creek watershed with views of Malibou Lake and many of the rocky peaks above. Malibu Riders also recently returned to their Zuma trail with scenic ocean views. These are family-friendly rides that cater to riders of all abilities and promise a lifelong memory. For ride information call 818-510-2245 or go to MalibuRiders.com. The Recreation and Equestrian Coalition holds an annual REC Ride, which is a gathering of horse enthusiasts Ruth Gerson who ride together

Matriarch of the Mountains The Santa Monica Mountains park system lies within the 40-mile stretch of the Santa Monica Mountains that runs from Hollywood in the east to Point Mugu and the Oxnard Plain in the west. Decades in the making, this system of parks was envisioned and created by a group of visionaries who commonly wanted to preserve this beautiful open space for people to enjoy, wildlife to thrive and cultural history to live on. These visionaries include Susan Nelson, Bill Anderson, Ruth Kilday, Sara Wan and many others. Ruth Gerson is one of the visionaries who have dedicated large amounts of time and energy to ensure the public has

access to these cherished parklands. Ruth does more than talk about the importance of preservation and access. She dedicates enormous time and energy through two organizations, Recreation & Equestrian Coalition (REC) and Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council (SMMTC). SMMTC’s mission is to protect, preserve and maintain trails in and around the Santa Monica Mountains. Ruth has served on the SMMTC’s Board of Directors since 1979 and is the current President. REC was formed in 2000 and works to protect and enhance recreation and equestrian assets in the Santa Monica Mountains. Ruth Gerson is an example of a person who cares deeply about the stewardship of the Santa Monica Mountains and continually shows her vision and leadership in this mission. 2019/2020 : :

This deeply rooted ritual for many is among the most important and sacred events in life. The magic of Malibu and the Santa Monica Mountains can manifest this dream into reality echoing in memory for an entire lifetime.

An important act that leads to the wedding is the proposal and choosing the right place to make that moment a perfect memory. Geoffrey’s Malibu overlooking the Pacific is an ideal setting to pop the question or for the rehearsal dinner. Geoffrey’s fix price menu and professional event planning allows the happy couple to focus on the joy of the moment. Carbon Beach Club inside the Malibu Beach Inn is an intimate setting ready for an ocean view proposal at sunset. Malibu Café at Calamigos Ranch is a magical space for either the proposal or rehearsal dinner.

Malibu offers many magical wedding venues that literally range from the top of the Santa Monica Mountains and plunge all the way to the beaches of the Malibu Coast. Mountain vineyard locations like Saddlerock Ranch, Cielo Farms or Malibu Solstice Vineyard have inspiring views that sweep from the Pacific Ocean to the heavens above. Nestled in the very heart of the Santa Monica Mountains, Calamigos Ranch alone has numerous venues covered in ancient oaks and hundred year old weeping willows bounded by streams and waterfalls.

Famous for its picturesque beaches, sunny weather, great surfing and million-dollar estates, Malibu has long been a popular filming location throughout the years. Our renowned beach town has been featured in countless movies, television shows, commercials and music videos— even gracing the cover of the Beach Boys’ debut album, “Surfin’ Safari.” Malibu’s cinematic cameos run the gamut from appearances in timeless classics like “Grease” and “Gidget” to modern-day blockbusters, including “Iron Man” and “The Fast and the Furious.”

El Matador State Beach One of the most visually stunning beaches in Malibu, El Matador State Beach, features stunning rock formations and sea caves, making it a popular spot for photo shoots and filming. Perhaps one of the most memorable movie moments ever shot here was one of the romantic scenes from “The Notebook,” in addition to “A Lot Like Love,” “True Romance” and “Valley Girl.” You might also recognize El Matador from Madonna’s “Cherish” music video.

Henman House Built by renowned architect Ed Miles in 1993, this residence, which features glass walls and a cathedral-like facade, is located on Mulholland Highway and overlooks the Malibu canyons, Santa Monica Mountains and Pacific Ocean. This unique home is also where Britney Spears filmed her “Work B***h” music video. 2019/2020 : :

The beach scene that opened the iconic “Grease” was filmed at Leo Carrillo State Park Beach.

Located at the Malibu Creek Watershed off of Las Virgenes Road and Mulholland Highway in Calabasas, this sprawling ranch attracts history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts with its unspoiled views, hiking and 1920s architecture. It was originally built by King Camp Gillette, founder of the Gillette Safety Razor Company, who built a mansion on the grounds. Now a nature and wildlife reserve open to the public, the site became the filming location for “The Biggest Loser” starting in Season 4.

Las Tunas Beach “The Hills” may be off the air these days, but many of us will never forget when Lauren Conrad turned down a Parisian summer internship with Teen Vogue, instead choosing to rent a beach house with thenboyfriend Jason Wahler. The home sits just east of Las Tunas Beach and was featured on the “Timing Is Everything” episode in the Season 1 finale, as well as at the beginning of the Season 2 premiere.

Leo Carrillo State Park It’s no wonder that Leo Carrillo State Park is an in-demand filming location. The scenic 1.5-mile stretch of beach is decorated with rocky cliffs, reefs, tide pools and caves, in addition to a picturesque park with hiking trails and views.

Malibu Creek State Park Often referred to as “The Yosemite of Southern California,” Malibu Creek State Park has more than 8,000 acres of plains, savannahs and dramatic peaks,

and was formerly owned by 20th Century Studios from 1946 to 1974. The park was the filming location for the legendary comedy series “M*A*S*H*,” and visitors to this day can still observe various props that were left behind from the show, among them the iconic signpost and vintage military vehicles. Countless other movies filmed here include “Planet of the Apes,” “Tarzan Escapes,” “The Left Hand of God,” “Love Me Tender” (starring Elvis Presley), “Pleasantville,” “California,” “What a Way to Go” and “Anchorman.”

Although privately owned, the cove is open to the public and has made multiple appearances on the big screen. In addition to serving as the backdrop for the album cover of Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ Safari,” Paradise Cove has also appeared in “Beach Blanket Bingo,” “Gidget,” “Gidget Goes to Hawaii,” “Lethal Weapon 4,” “Monster in Law,” “The House of Sand and Fog” and “X-Men,” as well as on television shows such as “Charlie’s Angels,” “The O.C.” and “The Rockford Files.” Britney Spears’ music video “Sometimes” was also filmed on the pier, in addition to scenes from “American Pie 2” and “Indecent Proposal.”

A big expansive beach with a fun break finds surfers sharing the water with body boarders. The beach break breaks both left and right; rips, however, can be dangerous. While there, visitors might even see their favorite TV show being filmed while they catch a wave.

Walking along the dusty trail, the cool morning weather provides a fresh

breeze. The sound of a waterfall comes from ahead; the view of the ocean in the distance. The trails in Malibu can take hikers up to what feels like the ability to actually touch the sky, while taking their breath away. More than 150,000 acres make up the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, the world’s largest urban national park, according to the National Park Service (NPS). The 46 miles of trails—from the Hollywood Bowl to Point Mugu in Ventura County—provide not only amazing views of the ocean, but also sightings of an abundance of wildlife and plant life. Native species of wildlife that are rare, threatened or endangered call the area home, along with other fish and vertebrae. There are stretches of trails perfect for hiking, biking and horseback riding. If you haven’t tried them already, this summer is the perfect opportunity to get out and explore.

Mishe Mokwa Trail This moderate to strenuous six-mile round-trip trail to Sandstone Peak and Inspiration Point includes spectacular scenic views, with the highest point at 3,100 feet. Aside from seeing rock climbers atop shear cliffs or a monstrous-sized boulder perfectly balanced atop a small rock, there is a huge split rock and giant sandstone formations for awe-viewing pleasure. Be on the lookout for red shank chaparral, a tree-like shrub with reddish-brown bark; it produces small bunches of beautiful white flowers in July and August. Sunset from Sandstone Peak

Solstice Canyon A flat, easy hike with a 30-foot waterfall, mysterious ruins and a hidden statue easily draw in the hiker throughout three miles of the many trails nestled under towering alder and sycamore trees, with some of the best ocean views in the Santa Monica Mountains. Also on the land the Chumash Indians once used for food, water and shelter sits a stone cottage built in 1865 by Matthew Keller. Visible from the trail, the cottage is believed to be the oldest existing stone building in Malibu. Reviews list the trail as child, stroller and dog friendly, so feel free to bring Fido.

Cheeseboro Canyon This northernmost 4.6-mile section of the Santa Monica Mountains has the second largest concentration of birds of prey nesting areas in the United States. The canyon, also home to the valley oak tree â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the largest native oak in the country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; provides easy, beautiful hikes, ranging from one to four hours, and offers climbs or descents of 1,000 feet in elevation. Many of the trails were once used by the Chumash Indians, who lived here for thousands of years before the land was expanded by cattle ranchers. Bikes and horses are also welcome.

With gorgeous ocean views, a waterfall, a rolling valley and even a pond, this moderately difficult seven-mile loop trail offers a mellow but steady climb of 1,400 feet to the top. The scenery is particularly lovely when the wildflowers are blooming. The hike can be decreased to a four-mile jaunt by following the La Jolla Canyon Trail versus following the entire trail, which loops around as the Overlook Trail.

Paramount Ranch The eight miles here offer many easy hiking trails leading to chaparral and oak woodlands, readily completed in two hours. The old western town that served as a backdrop to many films, commercials and television shows, including “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” and “Westworld,” is still visible. The dramatic 1,515-foot mountain to the south (said to inspire the Paramount logo) is Sugarloaf Peak, the highest point in the park. The ParkLINK Shuttle is also available here, which stops at many major sites while touring the area.
