About Malibu
Considered the ultimate coastal destination by the rich and famous, Malibu has a distinct aura not to be found anywhere else on the California coast. Its closeness to the movie industry and the surrounding City of Los Angeles ultimately support its superb and steady development. After all, wonderful descriptions of Malibu always include the one single element that keeps Malibu America’s favorite community; the weather, the weather, the weather. Top that off with the freshest western breezes coming in right off the coastal waters surf, and the combination is unbeatable. And we have a very clear historical picture available to all visitors that makes Malibu a memorable destination.
The Adamson House, a National Historic Site located in Malibu Lagoon State Park, is a showplace of Malibu historical artifacts. Completed in 1929 by the Rindge’s daughter, Rhoda Adamson, the Spanish-Moor revival residence features tile from the renowned Malibu Potteries and sits on a spectacular overlook of the Malibu Pier and Surfrider Beach.
The adjacent Malibu Lagoon Museum allows visitors to walk through the history of the area from the days of the native American Chumash, to the gentlemen ranchers, and finally to the birth of the surfing era. Museum docents give delightful tours filled with local legends and anecdotes.
Today, visitors to Malibu are offered the opportunity to enjoy its beaches, water sports, and to explore one of its secluded canyons, enjoying the beauty of this treasured land. The beaches and mountains of Malibu inevitably look familiar to first-time visitors. In part, this is due to the fact that large tracts of the Malibu Rancho were sold in the 30’s and 40’s to movie studios. Most “Westerns” were shot in the Santa Monica Mountains, as was “Mash” in the 70’s, while the “Gidget” films of the 50’s used Malibu’s scenic beaches as their movie sets.
Of course, many local shops and restaurants are ready to welcome you, while the fine programs and exhibits being offered by Pepperdine University and the Weisman Museum of Art are more culturally enriching experiences.
