The Best of Malibu


Gorgeous sunsets, beautiful beaches, the best surf, and over 300 days of sun per year. Surf City U.S.A. — Malibu — is a beloved destination for limo services throughout Southern California. Tourists from throughout the world head here on their Californication with LAX sedan service to experience the best of California beaches and a relaxed coast atmosphere, just a few miles from the hassle and stress of Downtown. 

But it’s far from just the beaches that make Malibu such a popular destination. Bordering the Santa Monica Mountains, the canyons and mountains (located a few miles inland from the city) offer some of SoCal’s best wine country. While many heads on wine tours to Malibu Family Wines, nestled in its own canyon surrounded by beautiful nature, others prefer tastings along the Pacific. After all, what could be better than enjoying a drink while taking in the breeze and beauty of the Pacific Ocean?

Situated just across the PCH, the Rosenthal Tasting Room offers tastings with magnificent ocean views, often accompanied by live music and local food trucks. Malibu Family Wines in the Malibu Canyons are open for picnicking, and food trucks are also often present here, along with their own safari tours and live entertainment, and outdoor movie screenings.

Besides regular Malibu limousine rides, we also offer wedding transportation, wine tours, LA to Vegas party bus rides, LAX transfers, and more.

Bars and Restaurants



Besides Malibu wine tours, there are lots of more things to do in Surf City USA! Some of Los Angeles County’s most popular beach bars and restaurants are located here, particularly those located on the beach are popular destinations for Malibu limousine clientele. Enjoy a meal at the Sunset Restaurant, located on Zuma Beach, for the beach-bungalow-dinner experience. 

Other restaurants located on the beach itself include for example Paradise Cove Beach Café, where you can literally sit in the sand or go for a swim in between your tropical cocktails, as well as another tremendously popular restaurant, Dukes Malibu. 

We recently had an LA to Vegas party bus customer who said Moonshadows by far is the best Malibu destination by limo. Some of the best views can be enjoyed from Moonshadows, where you can enjoy a meal on a balcony over the ocean. And why go on wine tours when you can try one of Carbon Beach Club’s more than 100 wine varietals! While in the area, don’t forget to visit the famous Pier! 

Once a symbol of the American Riviera, surfers from throughout the world head to the adjacent Surfrider Beach for what could be California’s best surf. Among our clientele, however, most head to Surfrider’s Beach for a stroll along the beach walk or to visit one of Pier’s two restaurants. The food and coastal views at the Farm Pier Cafe are unmatched! There are boats leaving the pier daily for fishing, whale-watching, and more.

Beaches


While Surfrider’s Beach might be amongst the most popular beaches, people order limo services for numerous Malibu beaches. As the terrain is so rugged with the Santa Monica Mountains some places literally drop into the ocean, and the so often steep, rugged, and rocky seaside makes for some amazingly stunning beaches. 

With nearly 30 miles of coastline, Malibu stretches for 27 miles from Topanga County Beach in the very south to Leo Carrillo State Beach in the north. Along with Surfrider’s Beach, Topanga County Beach is also a popular beach for surfers where the Topanga Creek outlet being a particularly popular surfing spot. 

Better for swimming is the Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beaches. Maybe not the most popular destination for limos for rent, but these three beaches offer arguably the LA region’s best beaches for swimming, and picnicking, and are a great place to bring the kids along.

Amongst the area’s most secluded stretches of coastline, La Piedra State Beach offers scenic views, breathtaking cliffs, and a truly secluded location. Being the most western of the Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beaches, the El Pescador State Beach offers the shortest hike from the parking lot to the beach. This sandy cove is also home to the hidden El Sol Beach, a hidden Southern California treasure. 

The last of the Robert Meyer Memorial State Beaches, El Matador State Beach, might offer the most scenic landscape and picturesque views. Our LAX sedan service even recently transferred international tourists directly to this beach from the airport! Known for its scenic rock formations and arch, sea caves, and secluded character, El Matador State Beach is a must-visit for beachgoers. You don't have to come flying into LAX to order transportation to the beach, our local limos for rent can get the job done! If you are flying into LAX, however, remember to check out our price-match-guaranteed LAX sedan service.

Attractions


Tourist attractions here are however not just limited to the great beaches; people order limo services for a wide arrange of activities in Malibu. Placed on one of the world’s most beautiful coastal properties, the Getty Villa might be the most visited Malibu limousine destination. Located on a hilltop in Pacific Palisades, its location in itself is worth the visit to the Getty Villa. 

Being one of the two locations of the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Villa offers over 44,000 objects on display, varying from statues, sculptures, and paintings to historic artifacts. Reopened in 2006 with gorgeous landscaping and beautiful surrounding gardens, the Getty Villa is free of charge and one of the most popular destinations for our LAX sedan service and LA limo services. 

With some amazing views of Surfrider Beach and lush green gardens, the Adamson House is another attraction for tourists and locals alike. Already established in the late 1920s, the Adamson House is now registered as both a California Historical Landmark and appears on the National Register of Historic Places. The idyllic home and gardens sit on a top overlooking the Malibu Pier, Lagoon, and Pacific Ocean. The Adamson House is located in the Malibu Lagoon State Park along with the local Lagoon Museum. This is the limo destination for those interested in local history, the museum offers various tours and insight into city history. Did you know that Malibu once was a ranch, bought for ten cents per acre in the late 1850s? Hard to believe for a city that is now home to some of America’s most expensive real estate! Explore Malibu's history with limos for rent!



Movie Locations

Most local Malibu limousine riders know that Malibu is a hugely popular filming location. But did you know you can go on a cinematic tour of Malibu by limo services? 

Did you for example know that Leo Carrillo State Beach appears in movies such as Inception (2010) and The Karate Kid (1984)? This beach is also a popular destination for those ordering limousine services for beaching and swimming. But this beach might be even more famous for appearing in the beginning beach scenes in Grease (1978). 

The house in Two and a Half Men (2003-2015) is located on Malibu Colony Road, while Jackie’s bonfire party in The Big Lebowski (1998) takes place at Point Dume. Elaine has a flashback to Westward Beach in the film Airplane! (1980), while a Ferrari race scene takes place on the PCH in The Fast and the Furious (2001). 

Dyson’s home in Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) is also situated in Malibu. Some of the motion pictures feating the Malibu Pier include Taken 2 (2012) and various episodes of Columbo (1971-2003) and The Rockford Files (1974-1980). Many combine Malibu wine tours with a tour of their favorite filming locations. In the Malibu Canyons, Malibu limousine riders often visit Malibu Family Wines and Cornell Winery & Tasting Room. Both of these have been featured in a variety of movies. Contact our limo services today for a tour of your favorite filming locations! For even more exciting movie tours, ask us about our LA to Vegas party bus tours.

Accommodation


Staying overnight? We know the local hotels better than anyone! Maybe not surprisingly, the best-rated is also our number-one recommendation and the most popular hotel for Malibu limo renters. 

We have weekly limos for rent heading to the magnificent Malibu Beach Inn. Situated on Carbon Beach, this 4-star hotel is as close to the ocean as you can get. Furthermore, the hotel is home to the Carbon Beach Club Restaurant where you can enjoy a drink or dinner on a balcony over the sea. In other words, it doesn’t get more romantic than this. This hotel might be the most popular for dating couples ordering a romantic Malibu limousine adventure. The 47 rooms here have modern designs and the hotel is within a short walking distance of the pier, the Malibu Country Mart, and numerous restaurants, including the Malibu Farm Pier Café located in the midst of the ocean. The hotel however might be overpriced considering that there is no swimming pool nor spa or jacuzzi, and no gym at the hotel. 

More affordable options include the 3-star Malibu Country Inn and the M Malibu. The Country Inn is a 1950s motel with its own heated swimming pool and the Collection Restaurant and Bar is located right next door to the motel and offers stunning ocean views. The gorgeous garden setting and charming character make it an intimate retreat. All rooms have sun patios with stunning ocean views, while the suites also have their own fireplace. This 16-room motel might be smaller than most, but shouldn’t be overlooked. 

Lastly, the M motel is a little larger, 18 rooms to be exact. The M is within walking distance of various local restaurants and shops. All rooms come with patios, but make sure to ask for a room in the 2nd or 3rd floor for ocean views! Hotels are popular destinations for clients reserving limos for rent!

Once overlooked for the Temecula-, Sonoma- and Napa Valleys, SoCal is experiencing a wine renaissance of its own in recent years. Did you for example know that more than fifty wineries are now situated in the Malibu region? With their close proximity to LA, these are even popular LAX sedan destinations for tourists! Furthermore, there are now two American Viticultural Areas or AVAs (officially designated wine-growing regions) within the Malibu city limits. Whether you are venturing out on wine tours to experience the emerging vineyards of the region or whether you are looking for an LA to Vegas party bus, LAX sedan, or any need for transportation in Southern California, our limo services can assist you!

Skirball Center Anyone?

The Skirball Cultural Center is a common stop for our Los Angeles limo service.  It is an educational institution devoted to sustaining Jewish heritage and democratic ideals. Open since 1996, the Center, named after Jack Skirball and Audrey Skirball-Kenis, features regularly changing film events, exhibitions, theater performances, family, comedy, and literary and cultural programs. 

So many of our LA limo clients enjoy the museum, libraries, gardens, courtyards, performing arts center, and cafe. In the first 10 years it was open, the center attracted nearly 5 million people through its doors. The Center's main exhibition, Visions, and Values: Jewish Life from Antiquity to America, traces the history, values, and experience of Jews over four thousand years. Skirball’s exhibition galleries feature changing displays of works, rare artifacts, multimedia installations, photographs, historical documents, works of fine art, and sound recordings. All about the Jewish people’s journey and their experience in the United States. 

The Skirball’s museum collection has over 3000 items including archaeological artifacts from biblical periods; Jewish ceremonial objects; the Project Americana collection, containing items about the “everyday life of ordinary people” in the U.S. since 1850. The Noah’s Ark galleries are a very popular attraction in the Center with interactive exhibits, including nearly 300 animals. Brooklyn-based designer Chris M. Green created additional life-sized animals, and many puppets to be operated by the staff. Outside, the experience includes a rainbow mist installation that kids and adults alike enjoy.

Not only is the Skirball Cultural Center a fun attraction here in Southern California, but it is a very educational one. Our LA limo service clients visit the center regularly and share so many positive experiences from their time there. If you are looking for something unique and different to do with the kids, we at Los Angeles limo service recommend a visit to the Skirball Center.  If your looking for other ideas or want to visit the center, be sure to contact one of our LA limo service specialists for information in help plan your visit.
