California small towns – Malibu: part 3 – food and accommodations

Malibu is a calm residential area that seems to quiet down after sunset even though parties and events take place in the villas.

Where to eat in Malibu

• Moonshadows (20356 Pacific Coast Hwy) is a place where you can spend a pleasant evening. If you go during the day, you will have a view of the ocean while at night, it is lit by blue lighting. Plus, does it get any better than having dinner or an aperitif with music and the waves of the sea in the background?
• Geoffrey’s Malibu (27400 Pacific Coast Hwy) in Escondido Beach and we also recommend Café Habana (3939 Crosscreek Rd) at Malibu Lumber Yard. Did you know that one of the owners of Café Habana is Cindy Crawford‘s husband?
• Duke’s Malibu (21150 Pacific Coast Highway) is dedicated to Duke Kahanamoku, a surf legend, swimming champion, and actor who was a lifeguard in Malibu in his youth and taught surfing.
• Carbon Beach Restaurant (22878 Pacific Coast Highway) at the Carbon Beach Inn has a terrace and a romantic atmosphere. The view of the ocean from the terrace is breathtaking.

It’s not impossible to stay overnight in Malibu for an affordable price.
