Malibu typically inspires images of surfers and celebrities. While both groups can be found in abundance, there's much more to this coastal enclave than what's depicted on the news. Tide pools, mountain trails, and outdoor seafood shacks are just some of my family's favorite outings along this coastal stretch between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains. If you are planning a trip to Malibu with tweens, allow me to recommend a few spots that are sure to make this your best family vacation ever.
