Little known fact: Most of Malibu faces south, not west. That means sitting down at just any seaside restaurant at dusk won 19t guarantee seeing a sunset over the water. But the aptly named Sunset Restaurant (6800 Westward Beach Road; 310-589-1007; www.thesunsetrestaurant.com) is a sure bet, with just the right orientation. Claim a white leather banquette, order a $5 carafe of wine and select a tasting plate of cheeses (three for $10; five for $15), and settle in for the light show.
