Malibu Pier
"Malibu Pier™ is a Southern California icon in an area once called the Riviera of America," says State Parks' Director Ruth Coleman. The historic landmark is located in the heart of California’s surf culture. Surfers from around the world come to Surfrider Beach adjacent to Malibu Pier, known for its three-point break that offers rides of 300 yards or more. The festive seaside atmosphere of good food and fun is returning to the famous pier. New restaurants offering classic seaside dishes complement the pier’s beautiful coastal location and rich history.
California State Parks has won the
2009 Los Angeles Conservancy Preservation Award for its restoration of the Malibu Pier. The conservancy recognized State Parks for showing "solid stewardship of this beloved public resource by reversing decades of decay while staying true to its historic character."
