Tucked beyond a scenic drive and just 15 minutes to the beach is Topanga Canyon. Artsy, counter culture, and off-the-beaten path, the area feels every bit like a hidden sanctuary. From nature trails set against grassy peaks to brunch by the creek, whats not to enjoy?

Food scene

Surrounded by nature, this restaurant is one of the most romantic in all of Los Angeles. The outdoor seating, a large terraced garden area next to a creek, is replete with sycamore trees, fairy lights, oak trees and buddha statues. During the cooler months, enjoy the interior and its roaring fireplace. The Inn offers plenty of vegan and vegetarian dishes, and the meat they serve is sustainable and raised naturally. It’s also a great option for Sunday brunch.

This is the hot new restaurant in town, and a much-needed gem in Topanga. Delicious thin crust pizzas, incredible burgers, fresh salads, and awesome record collection to browse. Highly recommend!

An old favorite for locals. Reliably good French-style and American cuisine, boutique wines & occasional live jazz with a lovely patio.

Topanga's go-to crystal shop! Super fun place to visit which features an eclectic array of fine crystals and collectables as well as jewelry. They also double as an art gallery and always have amazing art, mostly by local artists, hanging on the walls.

Hiking

A great place to hike, you’ll want to explore the caves and search for fossils and arrowheads left by the Chumash Indians who once dwelled here. You can also take the canyon trail up to Calabasas Peak for a pretty spectacular view of the surrounding landscape.

Edelman Park is the closest hike to the AirBnB. Make a right on Cañon at the bottom of Callado, then a left on Koontz. Follow Koontz to the end as it curves left, and you’ll be able to enter Edelman Park on your right It offers some 650 preserved acres to explore. While not as well known as the other Topanga walking and hiking areas, there are certainly beautiful views and bountiful wildflowers when in season.

Hike on one of the many trails to see some of the most beautiful nature in the area — you might even get lucky and see a deer or two. Be sure to check out Santa Ynez Falls if they’re running, along with the meadows and oak groves. Keep an eye out for rattlesnakes and mountain lions.

This is a Topanga treasure where you can discover not one but two stone labyrinth mazes! There are only about seven parking spots along the road at the hike’s entrance so best to go early. Shorter hike to the left is about 20 minutes to the top; long hike to the right takes you all the way down the mountain to a different stone labyrinth about 40 minutes one way. This dog-friendly park is a lovely place to hike and take in some breathtaking sights: the nearby beaches, Catalina Island, Malibu Pier and Santa Monica Pier.

Nice little specialty selection of products (although it's not the cheapest) friendly service and chill neighborhood atmosphere. Wonderful wines, cheeses, and amazing soft serve ice cream!

Overpriced but charming and the only real grocery store in Topanga proper. If you want something more affordable, you might prefer any of the major grocery stores in Woodland Hills or Calabasas, which are equidistant from the house.
