Ahhh Malibu... from beach house bliss to swollen tidal mists, this coastal mountain ecology has charm all its own.

Few tranquil moments can rival a hike or camp in the rugged beauty of the Malibu Hills. The bird's song, the mist from distant waves, the dance of delicate wildflowers and strong scent of chaparral make city life seem far far away.
