Catch a wave at Surfrider Beach, where perfect breaks have made this stretch of sand legendary among board riders since the 1950s. The Getty Villa houses ancient treasures in a setting so Mediterranean you'll forget you're in California. Hike through wildflowers in the Santa Monica Mountains, where trails reveal panoramic ocean views worth every drop of sweat. At Paradise Cove, toes-in-the-sand dining elevates the simple fish taco to transcendent experience. Point Dume offers dramatic cliff-top vistas where, between December and May, migrating grey whales pass remarkably close to shore. The Malibu Pier provides both excellent fishing and the perfect sunset selfie backdrop, though locals prefer the less crowded Carbon Beach for their evening constitutionals.

Shutters on the Beach

Downtown Santa Monica

10/10 Exceptional

We had two nights at Shutters as a "treat" to finish a four week break in USA. It was amazing. The rooms were just as I'd imaging a lovely cottage by the sea would be, right down to the yoyo and lovely books to browse. The room was very comfortable (the lovely bed very high though for vertically challenged people) and the view to die for. We had an ocean view and a partial ocean view (the partial was only obstructed by a tree, they both overlooked the pool area). The bathrooms were wonderful...
