Malibu is a famous beach-front community in western Los Angeles County, California. Malibu covers an area of 19.828 sq mi (51.354 sq km) on a 21-mile (34-km) stretch of the Pacific coastline. It is home to some 12,650 people (2011 estimate). The area has attracted many Hollywood celebrities to make their homes on the beach.

The Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) runs through Malibu, which is roughly bordered by Topanga Canyon to the east, the Santa Monica Mountains to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south, and Ventura County to the west.

In addition to being an affluent residential suburb, Malibu has fine beaches for surfing. Among the beaches in Malibu include Dan Blocker Beach, Malibu State Beach, Point Dume State Beach, Surfrider Beach, Topanga State Beach and Zuma Beach.

The landscape of Malibu comprises dry brush and steep clay slopes. The area is susceptible to fires, floods and mudslides, making it not the most ideal for housing.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
