Malibu Pier

Mailbu Pier is a nice place to take a stroll while visiting Surfrider Beach or after dining at the Malibu Inn across the street. There is a parking lot adjacent to the pier that charges $10.00 per entry. There is also metered street parking available on PCH, but parking can get tough on weekends and holidays. Additionally, there is a parking lot between the historic Adamson House and Surfrider Beach which is on the North side of the Pier. Rentals are available at the Malibu Surf Shack across the street for body boards, surf boards, paddle boards, kayaks, and wetsuits if you want to head over to Surfrider for some fun in the surf.

The pier is home to 2 restaurants: Malibu Farm and the Malibu Pier Restaurant and Bar. Malibu Farm is located at the end of the pier. It features organic food and offers excellent views of the ocean. Malibu Pier Restaurant is at the location near the entrance to the pier. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating (with umbrellas for sun protection).

The Malibu Inn which is directly across the street from the pier as is Jack In The Box - for Fast Food. The Whale watching and coastal tour operators as well as Malibu Sportfishing Excursions have put their boating trips on hold until repairs are made to their landing facility at the pier which was heavily damaged following a large swell on Labor Day weekend 2011.
