Though the outdoors are a big draw for Malibu, there is also a wide variety of dining and entertainment options within the city.
Along Pacific Coast Highway, one can find anything from a steak at Mastro's to the highest-end dining at Nobu—and everything in between. Order some fresh seafood and take in the vibes at Neptune’s Net, located at the northernmost tip of Malibu, enjoy the expansive views of the Pacific at The Sunset Restaurant & Beach Bar or grab a burrito at Lily’s and head to the water.
Though a more laid back, beachy community, Malibu also has its fair share of high-end shopping, from Trancas Country Market to Malibu Country Mart and Malibu Lumber Yard. Most recently, The Park at Cross Creek opened in the city, with a Whole Foods Market, Blue Bottle Coffee, Howdy’s restaurant and more.
The Malibu Pier often tops “must-do” lists, with a history dating back to the early 1900s, now offering dining and shopping, as well as views of surfers and sealife. Throughout the year, Malibu highlights its sense of community with local events, like the annual Malibu Chili Cook-Off each Labor Day weekend and the Malibu Nautica Triathlon.
