Malibu


Malibu is where the low hills hit the beautiful beaches, the houses have either beach access or a perfect view.


In November beaches are empty, besides the occasional movie set surrounded by equipment trucks and catering vehicles.  For a city guy it is such a strange sensation to wander along those perfect beaches for several miles, only meeting two or three other humans during two or three hours...



Destination of this beach walk was the famous Paradise Cove Beach Cafe...
...where I had this delicious Iced Seafood Sampler, the perfect meal for this location...
Outside, no surprise, there was another photo or film shooting under way...nice view, though ;-)
Back to "Downtown" Malibu, between the famous (they say so) Malibu Inn, where I had to pick up my number for the half marathon,...
..and the Malibu Pier, which claims to be famous, too.
Indeed famous is this surf spot next to the pier, where some of the most iconic surf heros spent part of their lifetime, like "Da Cat" Miki Dora.
