Malibu is an affluent beach city in Los Angeles County and is borders Topanga to the east, the Santa Monica Mountains (Agoura Hills, Calabasas and Woodland Hills) to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south and Ventura County to the west. The “21 miles of scenic beauty” is an unincorporated area and also known for being the home of Hollywood movie stars and affluent residents but it truly is very down to earth with many locals in the town.
Most homes are situated in and around the Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1), which traverses the city, with other residing in the canyons and areas up above the cost. The population is approximately 12,645.
Nicknamed "the 'Bu" by surfers and locals, Malibu beaches include Surfrider Beach, Zuma Beach, Malibu Beach, Topanga Beach, Point Dume Beach, County Line, and Dan Blocker Beach. State parks and beaches on the Malibu coast include Malibu Creek State Park, Leo Carrillo State Beach and Park, Point Mugu State Park, and Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beach, with individual beaches: El Pescador, La Piedra and El Matador. It is filled with parks and recreation areas offering miles of hiking and walking trails and is home to the production location for the TV show “Mash.”
