Where to Stay
Malibu Beach Inn: A majorly updated old hotel, the only one in the area that is actually on the water (waves crashing outside your window. Lounge chairs on the beach, towels, drinks and food for guests. Rooms are nice but not particularly spacious, service is good but not at the level you would expect for the price. You pay for prime oceanfront property and the lack of other options in the area.
