yes, there IS a malibu beside surfing, even if it´s not a city, more a place to hide for the rich people... but beside those secret villas, there are nice details just at every corner, worth having a look at in your lunchbreak, maybe at the malibu inn, but i prefer the jewish burgers below the surf shack - shop. and after getting some organic snack at pacific coast greens you could check out becker´s surfshop, originally from hermosa beach, existing since 1976 and shaping awesome nice boards! it´s just over the bridge of the lagoon, a nice location between the parkinglot behind the bridge and the lagoon, a small beach and behind the fence: the "secret" surfspot, everybody knows already...
