This place is a little on the pricy side but it is amazing. If you don't want to dine you can always stop in for a drink at the bar or whisky tasting room. It's been here over one hundred years and has an interesting history.

Fun lunchtime spot for fried and fresh seafood. On weekends you'll likely be dining beside a hundred bikers. County line beach (from that Beach Boy's song) is right across the street and is still a popular spot for surfing

This is also over in Topanga Canyon, a kind of hippy community a couple hilltops over. It's worth checking out.

I believe they filmed Castaway on this beach. Really pretty, wild and rocky. Swimming is a little hazardous but it happens.

This place is spectacular. You can do a nice walk around the top if you can find parking or walk up to the cliffs from the state park entrance on the beach. You can often see sea lions, seals and whales migrating up the coast.

This is just up Piuma and offers stunning views of the mountains and Malibu Canyon. You can have a picnic here. But if you keep driving up Piuma past this spot there's a little state park sign on the right hand side with a short hiking trail that will lead you to an even more private and better picnic spot.

This is where you'll be staying. The only place of business is the Saddle Peak but while you're driving down Piuma keep an eye out for the ancient oak forests. Some of the oak trees are estimated to be over a thousand years old.
