3. Watching the sunset over the ocean
Having lived in Malibu for quite some time now, watching the sunset over the ocean is one of the only things that has never gotten old. Whether it's on the sandy beaches of Zuma, or under the beautiful rock formations at El Matador Beach, or on top of Point Dume, Malibu sunsets are some of the most beautiful things Malibu has to offer. We are lucky enough to live in a place where we can watch the sunset on the beach, so while it's still summer, go watch the sunset over our beautiful beaches.
