City/town information

A 30 minute drive from Encino, well known for its celebrity homes and beautiful beaches. Drive to the Country Mart (3835 Cross Creek Rd, Malibu) to go shopping and people watching. Restaurants I recommend are below. Weekends are busy, so I do recommend a reservation. During the week you should be ok without a reservation but it is best to call before. Nobu Paradise Cove Cafe Geoffrey's Taverna Tony
