the history of malibu

Malibu has long existed as both a place and a feeling — where surf culture meets cinematic glamour, and barefoot ease lives beside quiet luxury. From the early days of the Malibu Colony, when Hollywood icons sought refuge along its private shores, to the rise of 1960s surf culture that made its waves legendary, Malibu became shorthand for freedom, beauty, and sun-washed ease. It is a coastline shaped by artists, dreamers, and those drawn to the rhythm of the Pacific — resilient through fire and change, yet eternally luminous.
