Malibu is a city in northwest Los Angeles County with about 21 miles of coastline, giving families quick access to beach days while still staying connected to the 101/PCH corridor for school, sports, and errands.

For schools, Malibu is served by the Santa Monica–Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD)—and because boundaries matter, it’s smart to verify the assigned school for any specific address during your home search.

For everyday kid time, Malibu Bluffs Park is a strong “default” option with a playground (ages 2–12), sports fields, picnic areas, and a community center with leagues and classes; and Zuma Beach is one of the easiest family beaches for amenities like restrooms/showers, food stands, large parking, and lifeguards.
