Getting To Malibu California
There are basically three ways to get to Malibu California. Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1), or PCH as it's usually called, is the main access route through the whole area.
From the San Fernando Valley, you can meander through the Santa Monica Mountains from Highway 101 via Los Virgenes, Kanan Dume Rd., Decker (Hwy. 23) or Topanga Canyon.
Los Virgenes turns into Malibu Canyon Road and lands you closest to the center of things such as the pier, the shopping areas, Pepperdine University, and Surfrider Beach.
From the south, Sunset Boulevard ends at the Pacific, so if you don't mind a long, scenic, winding drive, you can take that to the coast and turn right at PCH.
Alternatively, from L.A. you can take the 10 freeway out to where it ends in Santa Monica and head north/west from there on PCH.
From the north, which is Ventura County, you can drive along the coast all the way from Ventura, enjoying miles of coastline along Pacific Coast Highway.
Once you see the pier, you know you're pretty much there.
