The Malibu coast spans 27 miles, providing residents plenty of space to enjoy more secluded areas, but also remain close to tons of food, entertainment, and travel options. Many renowned bars and restaurants call Malibu home, and Malibu is also an easy drive to Los Angeles’ amenities, less than 25 miles away.
Though tucked away in the Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu can be accessed using the Pacific Coast Highway or the 101, making popular destinations like Hollywood and Burbank less than 40 minutes away. If you’re traveling somewhere further, the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is only an hour’s drive away.
