Malibu Travel Guide
Malibu is a beautiful, coastal town within LA County.
In the summer, it’s a bustling beach community, packed with beach-goers escaping the heat and people on vacation. The rest of the year, it’s a sleepy little town with a tight-knit community who appreciate nature and living the slow life.
Climate: Malibu is fortunate to have a mild, Mediterranean climate, meaning we have beautiful weather year round.
However, since we’re by the coast, we do experience heavy marine layer at times. But I don’t consider that a negative! We call it nature’s air conditioning.
Best Way to Get Around: The best way to get around Malibu is by car or other vehicle with 4 wheels.
Malibu is long and narrow, with the mountains on one side, the ocean on the other, and PCH running right down the center. While this means a beautiful place to explore nature, it’s not very walkable or bike friendly.
