The 780-foot long Malibu Pier (23000 Pacific Coast Highway; 888-310-7437; www.malibupiersportfishing.com) is the most recognizable (and, arguably, only) landmark in town. Take a morning stroll out to the end, chat with the fishermen and watch surfers paddle out. You 19ll be walking on a piece of Malibu history. The pier was originally built in 1905 as a loading dock for construction material, and it was a lookout during World War II. It crops up in numerous movies and TV shows. But storms took their toll, and it closed for repairs in 1995, finally reopening last summer 14 to the relief of local residents.
