Malibu (121)
Malibu isn't just a beautiful coastal locale; it's also a historic part of Southern California. Join us for a visit to the town that has been the setting for several feature films and is the place that many celebrities call home. We'll tour the Adamson House, enjoy the Pacific by kayak and surfboard, and sample the area's eclectic accommodations—from vacation rental homes to the Malibu Beach Inn.
