Most people (outside of California) associate "California Dreaming" with Malibu. All sorts of mythology has been built around the classic California beaches around Malibu. The beach movies of the '60s did nothing but continue the international love affair with the idea of "Malibu," and Hollywood continues to play up that mystique all of the time. The reality is that Malibu is part of 27 miles of scenic beauty in Southern California. It is, in fact, home to dozens of famous celebrities and does offer famous surfing fun at Zuma Beach. Here are some fun facts about the area and some will debunk some of the mythology. No, you cannot have a bonfire on any beach in Malibu, so any idea of wild beach parties with a raging fire to dance around, you will be cited. You can BBQ is some of the fire-designated spots on some of the state beaches. Alcohol is prohibited on all beaches in Malibu, and the city clearly lets its guest know there is zero tolerance, so don't plan that kind of party. Although the city will issue certain permits for parties with alcohol. Finally, nude sunbathing is not allowed -- and there is no permit for that one. Do plan to enjoy the quintessential California beach experience in Malibu outside of those restrictions.
