马里布

Stretching for 更多的 than 30 miles along the Pacific 和 Highway One, 马里布 has achieved almost mythological status among California beach towns. Hollywood stars 和 top athletes live in oceanfront homes here, under an elegant veil of privacy on long str和s of beach, 和 enjoy front-row seats for surfing 和 unforgettable sunsets.

While it may sound exclusive, there is plenty of 马里布 magic for visitors to access too. Considered to have some of the most perfect waves anywhere, 马里布’s 冲浪海滩，刚刚结束。 马里布码头他被评为第一名 世界冲浪保护区; nearby 祖马海滩 is a sun magnet for locals 和 families. 在冬天, 沙丘, at 马里布’s north end, provides an ideal perch for spotting migrating gray whales.

The perfect aesthetics stretch beyond the beach, too. 盖蒂别墅—the original home of the Getty Museum, which opened in 1974—focuses on Ancient Greek 和 Roman Art (admission is free, 但是你需要 预订). 对于更现代的, 多沙砾的杰作, check out the 30 historic surfboards on display, some dating back to the 1910s, 在 冲浪博物馆 at Pepperdine University’s Payson Library. And for wearable art—和 perhaps to spot one of the local celebs—browse the shops 在 马里布乡村超市 和 马里布木材场, two upscale retail centers located next to one another.

Afterward, grab a bite at one of the many eateries along the water. 马里布农场餐厅 is an organic café 和 restaurant that sits right on the pier, 和 杜克大学的马里布, which honors pioneering surfer 和 Duke Kahanamoku, delivers Hawaiian cuisine along with indoor/outdoor seating 和 excellent water views. Or browse the fresh catches—和 try one of the famed ahi tuna burgers—at 马里布的海鲜, right across from Dan Blocker Beach. To spend the night like an insider, get a room 在 47-room 马里布海滩酒店, a former motel located on the so-nicknamed Billionaire’s Beach, which was given its original makeover by Hollywood mogul David Geffen. 或预定住在 冲浪者酒店, a 20-room “California beach house”-style getaway just across the street from the famous strip of s和 it takes its name from. Originally built in 1953, the Surfrider has evolved from its humble beginnings to a posh sanctuary–complete with a roof deck 和 farm-to-table restaurant—without losing any of its old-school surf-culture charm.

Tough as it is to drag yourself away from the ocean, head inl和 a short distance 和 you can also hike through hills 和 canyons, filled with spring wildflowers 和 even waterfalls, 在小径上 Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. For a cool guided experience, take one of the two-hour 马里布葡萄酒之旅 on the rolling terrain of Saddlerock Ranch vineyard; walks include stops to see Chumash cave drawings 和, 当然, a 品酒.
