Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club is a romantic resort with private cottages nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains. It's the perfect place to decompress and reconnect with nature. Find your way to their private beach club (with the complimentary shuttle bus) for a little tanning or surfing.

Try this a bohemian restaurant and café on the Malibu Pier with sweeping views of the ocean (the view on the Northern patio is the best). Watch the surfers in action on iconic Surfrider Beach as you cool off with a white sangria and a zucchini pizza with a side of Malibu blue nachos.

Both a peaceful retreat and a lively destination. Little Beach House is a stylish minimalist members-only club with a lovely bar and restaurant. It's spectacular panoramic views of the town's Carbon and Surfrider beaches is worth the membership.
