    Beautiful views at the Malibu Pier! I went on a weekday so it wasn't that crowded. Parking was easy to find and free if you park on the street but there is also a parking lot that you can pay to park at. Great spot to eat and walk on the pier for nice views.

    As of March 10 2025 the end of the pier is still closed for"structural" reasons.

    It's an almost perfect time to go to the Malibu Pier. It's not very crowded since Pacific Coast Highway between Santa Monica and Malibu is still closed. Two of the things that keep it from being a perfect time to go is the end of the pier is still closed for "structural" reasons and the Malibu Farm Restaurant is currently serving a limited menu. https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=31818

    Cool spot and easy access to the beach as well. Some coffee and brunch spots on the pier and right before the pier. Public restrooms are at the end of the pier. Plenty of spots to fish as well but I believe you need a fishing license

    It would be ridiculous to give anything less than a 5/5 for a location this beautiful. It's true that the pier only has 2 dining and 2 retail locations, but the beauty alone is worth the visit. It's a lot cleaner and calmer than the Santa Monica Pier and the vibe is completely different. The crowds at both places are totally different. Malibu Pier is the sort of place you'll want to bring your significant other or children. Parking is also pretty easy as there are a lot of available street spots, but they fill up fast. We chose to park in the paid lot directly next to the entrance for $15, which was worth it because this past weekend was especially busy due to the great weather and zero wind. A true Malibu staple and I would recommend to anyone. It would be equally enjoyable for a local or a tourist. Fishing is also possible from the pier.

    Despite having lived my whole life in socal, I had never been to Malibu pier. It has shops and eatieries and a gorgeous view of the Pacific ocean. But parking like everywhere in LA is terrible especially on the weekends. There is LA history at the pier, so it's worth checking out when it's a little more quiet and relaxed.

    Beautiful day and Christmas Eve. Spectacular views of the hills, landscape and ocean. And we got to see Santa Claus walking on the pier. Great day with family .

    The Malibu pier was a nice little adventure to go and explore. I had a nice little restaurant and a gift shop at the very end. It didn't cost any money to get on the pier which I enjoyed our a lot of people fishing on the side and it was the overall good experience.

    I have seen the Malibu Pier many times but never actually stopped and walked it till recently. Parking - steep for $15 but there are other lots if you don't mind walking a bit. For me, it's a nice, historic pier, with majestic walls, built in 1905. It's not as long as others, it's charming, but very crowded, almost too crowded between Instagramers taking photos non-stops to many people fishing, leaving their rods everywhere, so it's very hard to find a spot near the rail to enjoy the views. Which are very nice. Just a store with souvenirs, decent quality ones and Malibu Farm with two locations taking pretty much over. Especially during Covid-era it was a tad too populated for me. Otherwise a nice small pier with great coastline views.

    I'm always surprised by the difference between the Malibu pier and the Santa Monica pier. The Malibu pier is much quieter than the Santa Monica pier! Although the venue is not as large or well-populated, it has a more laid-back, picturesque atmosphere. There is none of the hustle and bustle of a tourist carnival, but rather a refined, relaxed atmosphere. We are eager to return. If you arrive early in the morning, as we did, free parking is readily available and there was no queue. The morning air was invigorating. Additionally, it is recommended to visit the souvenir store, as it offers a unique experience.

    Malibu Pier is really low key in comparison to Santa Monica Pier!! It's not as big or as crowded, but it was more of a scenic, chill vibe here. A few people having dinner and drinking wine at the restaurant here, along with people just out for a stroll or fishing. Parking in this area is a challenge, as it's just off Highway 1. Go to the end and look back at the coast, or the Pacific Ocean, the views here are great!!

    Every time when we drive by Malibu Pier, I always think that one day, I need to stop by and visit this pier. Here we are, finally we have a chance this weekend to visit the pier. And we really enjoyed the time there. The parking is $15. It is not a big parking lot, but we still found a parking space inside. They have portable restrooms setup in the parking lot. The pier is gorgeous! The view is stunning ! I love their 2 stories gift shop, the little round window inside the gift shop makes me feel like on the ship. When I stand at the corner of second floor watching the beautiful blue in front of me, I feel I am on the ship. The white and blue color combinations of tower really matches well with sea color. The Sunset is beautiful ! Malibu Farm Pier Cafe is located in the front of pier which we had a great dinner later on at the night. We definitely will come back to Malibu Pier again. I see people walking on the beach under the pier, I will do that next time.. This pier will be one of my favorite pier now!

    Malibu, home to some of the most successful celebrities. Well, there's a reason why. Just look at those photos I took, breathtaking! WOW! Are you stressed? Need some air? Well, go and visit Malibu Pier, walk around the coastline, it's refreshing: fresh air, jaw-dropping views, soothing atmosphere. This is probably second to just Laguna Beach and that is something considering the countless beaches located in SoCal. You could dine here and buy souvenirs. P.S., The sunset here is GORGEOUS! Tip: Don't bother looking for free parking. Just pay for it because it will be time well spent! You will leave this place feeling blissful!

    I've been here a dozen times but the last time I was here was the first time I sucked it up and just paid for parking and I think I'll do that every time moving forward. It saves so much time, and it's so much safer than parking on the highway. I also can't believe I never realized there was beach access from the parking lot! After we had lunch at Malibu Farm and walked along the pier, we put our feet in the water and hung out. There's not much sand when the tide is high but it's an awesome experience. Overall the pier is simple but relaxing. There's one shop and two restaurants, public bathrooms, fisherman and sometimes there are little vendors selling things along the pier. Lastly, you can almost always count on seeing dolphins at the far end the pier where the fishermen hang out. All around, there's nothing not to like about stopping here on the way to or from a day in Malibu.

    How's the parking like there?

    Get there early in the AM. They have parking lots but they’ll fill up fast. There is also lots of street parking.

    Are leashed dogs allowed on the pier?

    Dogs, except service dogs, are not allowed onto the pier at all. The Malibu Pier is a California state park so rangers ticket people with dogs on the pier.

It's actually in LA County believe it or not, especially since it's before cities like Calabasas, Agoura Hills and Malibu and has grown and evolved with time and been super well preserved. Purchased by local resident Rick Denman in the late 90s and blossoming ever since... The GW of Topanga is about half walf up from a starting point at Ventura Blvd/ Topanga Cyn in Woodland Hills up the adventurous cruise up. Rick has filled this wall not with just his own work but other locals as well. It's a collection of so many abstract pieces, trinkets, toys, statues, tools and surprising yet fun items, because as we all know... Art is everywhere and whatever you make it. Most people take Topanga on their way to the Pacific Coast Highway from the valley side, as well as various destinations like Inn at the Seventh Ray (a personal fav other than the coastline or Malibu or Santa Monica) and get to take in this wall of local flavor which is most visible during the day and with light. Definitely gotta pull over next time I'm up. Last picture I took I was in the passenger side and we were going to quick.

The ride to this trail is beautiful but keep your eyes on the road! Once you get to the trailhead there is street parking. Just don't park on the street between 9-6am. Come early for a good spot near the trailhead! This walk/ hike is relatively short. The hike starts at the gate and from there stay left all the way to the end. You hike will start on a paved area and then transition to a trail. A relatively simple hike with some gradual ups and downs! The views from the trail is absolutely beautiful! Especially when the fog is rolling off the mountains! You can truly get a 360 view! And the very end of the trail you are greeted with a cement platform that has been graffiti! This Takes away from the beauty but interesting its own right! On your way back to your car, if the cloud and the fog has lifted you will be able to see the beautiful ocean from the mountain peaks! If you are seeking a quick simple hike with beautiful 360 views, then this is worth the windy uphill drive!
