Things To Do
Malibu Farm Pier Cafe
If you're looking for great breakfast and great views, look no further. If you walk all the way to the end of the pier, you can grab an all organic farm to table breakfast with breathtaking seats along the water. We highly recommend their fresh squeezed OJ!
Nobu Malibu
If you want a chance to see celebrities, we highly recommend Nobu Malibu. This restaurant is known for its frequent affluent guests including: Taylor Swift, The Kardashians, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Sandler, and the list goes on. NOTE: You must make a reservation exactly 30 days prior to your anticipated date, as the reservations book up 30 days out. We recommend setting your phone reminder to notify you when they open so you can call as soon as they open.
Élephante
Élephante is a beautiful coastal Italian restaurant that is on a rooftop overlooking Santa Monica and the Pacific Ocean. The vibes are unmatched with their neutral boho atmosphere. A great spot to check out for sunset, a drink at the bar or dining in for dinner.
Catch LA
Catch LA is an incredible restaurant that is found in the heart of WeHo (West Hollywood). This restaurant is a celebrity hotspot, but honestly we go for the incredible food. We came here to celebrate the night we got engaged, and a few tables over from us was Jamie Foxx! WeHo is a night life hot spot, so after dinner you are in walking distance to tons of popular bars! NOTE: We recommend making a reservation well in advance!
Zuma Beach
If you want some fun in the sun, Zuma Beach is a beautiful area to unwind and work on your tan. Even in October the weather is beautiful and it's very possible you will have the chance to get in a nice beach day. Zuma is clean and quiet, the opposite of our Golden Retriever which this beach is named after!
El Matador State Beach
El Matador State Beach in Malibu is absolutely breathtaking. You park with a beautiful aerial view of the rocky coastline from above, and there are stairs that allow you to walk down onto the beach. If you're looking for a good photo op, or just to see one of the most highly selected spots to "pop the question", this place is dreamy.
Venice Boardwalk Bike Rental
While visiting Los Angeles, you must make your way to Santa Monica/Venice Beach boardwalk and rent bikes to ride a long the beach. What better way to witness the Cali lifestyle of art, culture, and people watching. This path rides right along the coast through beautiful palm trees, and passes by the famous Santa Monica Pier. NOTE: We recommend parking at 6 Rose Ave, Venice, CA 90291. You will need to pay to park, but this lot is not far from the bike rental shop, and centrally located between everything.
E.P. & L.P.
E.P. & L.P. is a versatile spot to check out! Located in vibrant West Hollywood, this restaurant has an incredible rooftop bar that at night is magically lit with views of the Hollywood Hills. The aesthetic of this rooftop bar is unmatched. Also on the same rooftop located adjacent (but secluded) from the bar, you can view the website for weekly movies at the Melrose Rooftop Theatre. Want a slower night? Kick back on the blow up chairs, under the stars and watch some of the best classics such as White Chicks, Happy Gilmore, Top Gun, Grease, Legally Blonde, and much more!
Santa Monica Pier
The Santa Monica Pier boasts many iconic features including a blend of entertainment, attractions, and live music. This is a lively area, although touristy, this location flaunts some of the best sunsets with the Santa Monica Mountains illuminating from behind.
The Grove
Looking to do some shopping? The Grove in Los Angeles is a short drive from Malibu, and is arguably the most beautiful outdoor shopping mall in the United States. This shopping area has tons of shops, restaurants, and of course the famous Farmers Market boasting over 130 vendors and has been seen on the food network many times.
Rodeo Drive
Oh you fancy huh? Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills is famously known for its luxury shopping, its high-end boutiques, elegant restaurants, and upscale hotels. If you are looking for the finer things of California we recommend you check this spot out! Fun fact: Our wedding bands are from Tiffany & Co. on this street!
Runyon Canyon Hiking Trail
If you're looking for a nice easy hike, Runyon Canyon Park is your spot! This park is famously known for its celebrity appearances and views of the Hollywood Sign and downtown Los Angeles skyline. Many locals love to hike/walk this park as its easy and quick for a workout. NOTE: you will need to find street parking and walk through the iron gates you will see at the entrance of the park.
Country Kitchen
Need breakfast in a hurry in Malibu? This spot looks like a hole in the wall shop, but rest assured it has a large reputation. You can order ahead online or at the window when you arrive, but this kitchen serves up some of the best breakfast around and is popular amongst local surfers!
