🌴 LA Layover: Coastal Escape from Santa Monica to Malibu 🌊

#favouriteitinerary Make the most of your Los Angeles layover with a scenic coastal adventure! Start at the Santa Monica Pier, where ocean views, street performers, and the historic carousel set the perfect SoCal vibe. Stroll along the beach or rent a bike for a breezy ride down the boardwalk. Next, head up the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu Lagoon, a peaceful spot where surfers ride the waves, and migratory birds gather in the wetlands. Take a short walk to Malibu Pier for a coffee with a view. End your trip at Point Dume, a breathtaking headland with dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and sweeping ocean panoramas. If you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins or whales offshore! A perfect snapshot of LA’s coastal magic before heading back to the airport. ☀️🏄♂️🌊
