This section of Venice is a lot less touristy and VERY hip! I like to check out the boutiques, have lunch there, and then rent a bike and ride it to the Venice boardwalk, and then all the way to the Santa Monica Pier and back. In my opinion, it's the best way to check out all that those areas have to offer!

Instead of driving, try hiking up there on one of the hiking trails available! It'll save you a lot on parking/uber, and it's a quintessential Los Angeles experience.

This is hands-down my favorite sightseeing spot in the city! It was built by J. Paul Getty (of the Getty museum, which is ALSO work checking out) and modeled after a REAL Italian Villa discovered intact under Herculaneum, a town buried in the Vesuvius explosion that also buried Pompeii. The art and the flora is just stunning -- and the views of Malibu are breathtaking! If you're taking a day-trip out to one of Malibu's beaches, I really recommend you stop here. Entrance is free but parking is $15, and they close at 3pm.

This is a beautiful public beach with stairs that go down from a cliffside to the water. It's a trip to get there, so plan to be there the whole way. For food, check out Malibu Seafood.

City/town information
Iconic coastal beach town with beautiful sights. Known for its wine tasting rooms. If you have a couple days to spare, I would suggest you make the drive down (it's only 3 hours away) and check out neighboring vineyards or the town of SOLVANG, a little dutch settlement that looks like it's out of Epcot.
