One of California's gems, Malibu is relatively isolated, even today, as access is primarily via the Pacific Coast Highway rather than an Interstate. It is separated from the rest of California by a chain of mountains; and not until 1929 was the Pacific Coast Highway even built. On the other hand, it is relatively close to Hollywood; and so became a refuge of sorts for crowd-weary celebrities who wanted to frolic in the sun and surf in private. However, today, as an off-the-beaten-path yet well-known tourist destination, the towns and beaches are filled with visitors, with wealthy foreign tourists in prominent display. However, I would go for the spectacular scenery and awesome hiking.

I have two kids who live on the East Coast, and two who live in Arizona, as I do. I was expecting to get together with my Arizona kids for Father's Day, but daughter Jenny invited us to join her for Father's Day in a place she rented for the week, in Malibu, California. She didn't have to twist my arm!
