Malibu Pier is a Southern California icon in an area once called the Riviera of America. The historic landmark is located in the heart of California’s surf culture. Surfers from around the world come to Surfrider Beach adjacent to Malibu Pier, known for its three-point break that offers rides of 300 yards or more. The festive seaside atmosphere of good food and fun is returning to the famous pier. Restaurants offering classic seaside dishes complement the pier’s beautiful coastal location and rich history.

Malibu stretches 27 miles along the Pacific coast west of the Los Angeles basin. This part of the coast runs east-west forming the northern edge of Santa Monica Bay, backed by the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains that rise right up from the water leaving only a narrow strip of land between the beach and the hills. There is one road that traverses the coastal strip, the famous Pacific Coast Highway, always called PCH. It is also CA-1 but if you ask for that you will probably get a blank look.
