AT A GLANCE

Sunny Malibu, California.

Acoastal community defined by cool waves, burnt sand and sunning superstars. Malibu is the most glamorous beach city in North America. The land was once home to the Chumash tribe of Native Americans who called it Humaliwo, which means “the surf sounds loudly”. As the “hu” syllable was not emphasized in pronunciation, the name quickly became Malibu – and more fondly, The Bu by locals.

The water offers an elated high to surfers and boaters alike, and the beaches are prestigious grounds for barefoot combing, picnics and sandcastles. Wander in the wet tide and sink in the sand as tedious waves tease your feet. Warm breezes carry nostalgic scents of sunscreen and salty air. Impressive beach bungalows hug the coast and stir dreams of easier lives, filled with designer flip flops and chocolate gelato, on the coast of the magnificent Bu.

THE SURF SOUNDS LOUDLY
