Windward Beach at Point Dume
Less than a mile north of Kanan Dume Road (also known as Latigo Canyon), you’ll find three great Malibu beaches in a row.

View from PCH, just past County Line
Along Pacific Coast Highway from Broad Beach to the Ventura County Line, the northern stretch of Malibu, California feels windswept, remote and exciting.

Spring flowers along Kanan-Dume Road in Malibu's Latigo Canyon
Latigo Canyon, otherwise known as Kanan-Dume Road, is the northernmost direct canyon artery from the 101, connecting Agoura Hills with Malibu.
Here you’ll find unusual rock formations, vivid yellow wildflowers in Spring, the best mountain views, but also the most nauseously winding route. It’s the top choice for motorcycle riders, and you’re bound to see a lot of them.
You’ll also see a lot of mansions, and as in other places along the 27-mile stretch of Malibu, you might marvel at the myopic logic of building them in a place where huge hillside fires are a yearly occurrence.
As with all things in Malibu, enjoy them for now.

Malibu's Topanga Canyon
In the heart of Malibu, the southernmost artery linking the 101 freeway to PCH is Topanga Canyon. (This means it’s the canyon closest to Los Angeles.)
Topanga was the greatest Southern California hippie outpost of the 60s, an artists’ colony amongst sleepy, golden hills.
