Catch a wave at Surfrider Beach, where perfect breaks have made this stretch of sand legendary among board riders since the 1950s. The Getty Villa houses ancient treasures in a setting so Mediterranean you'll forget you're in California. Hike through wildflowers in the Santa Monica Mountains, where trails reveal panoramic ocean views worth every drop of sweat. At Paradise Cove, toes-in-the-sand dining elevates the simple fish taco to transcendent experience. Point Dume offers dramatic cliff-top vistas where, between December and May, migrating grey whales pass remarkably close to shore. The Malibu Pier provides both excellent fishing and the perfect sunset selfie backdrop, though locals prefer the less crowded Carbon Beach for their evening constitutionals.

Malibu Beach Inn

Malibu Beach Inn

8/10 Good
"I loved it here. I felt like they could improve on their staff for the beach. They should wash the furniture at the end of every day to make sure it’s clean for the next days people. I also think that they should make sure that they accommodate their hotel guests to sit outside for dinner on the patio and make that a priority not just people that come in for reservations the staff by the beach that helps you set up. Your furniture does not seem real organized."

"I was greeted in the office and it was a quick check-in to get my room key. Staff was friendly. My room was clean. There was a small refrigerator for me to use. I setup my computer on the desk space and was able to work from my room. Plenty of daylight and you could open the windows for a breeze of fresh air. The shades were blackout so you could get a good nights rest. Great shower, spacious bathroom. The ocean view was amazing, as were the adorable hummingbirds that played in the palm trees right outside my balcony. Loved the balcony. I didn’t use the pool but it was very clean and there were plenty of lounge chairs surrounding it to use. Parking was available. Location was walkable to grocer, etc. and to public beach access— so you can see and do plenty without a car."

"This was my first stay in Malibu and at The Hotel June in Malibu and it was one of the best mini vacations I have had! The hotel was so cute and cozy. The rooms were clean and comfortable! They have small outdoor patios that were perfect for those who bring their dogs. They leave you a personal note wishing you a wonderful stay and the mini bar is stocked with lots of drinks and snacks! It’s a true hidden gem and the staff was amazing! Everything about my stay was beyond my expectations and I can’t wait to go back! Thank you to Nick and his team!!"
