After such a hectic few weeks, we decided to take a mini-break and check out Malibu on Saturday. After a leisurely breakfast at home, we made our way to Santa Monica and then drove north up the Pacific Coast Highway. The city quickly melted into a beautiful coastline dotted with gorgeous homes. In about an hour, we pulled over at a fish shack to eat tacos and soak up the beautiful view.
Surfline said one to two feet, but it looked like perfect two to four feet peelers. I watched as graceful long boarders danced down the waves. I can't wait to get back into the ocean!
Then we headed to El Matador Beach State Park, which is a gorgeous beach set beneath a dramatic rocky ridge. We explored the rock outcroppings, caves, and tide pools. Although it was a spring-like day, a handful of people sunbathed and frolicked in the turquoise ocean.
Afterwards, we feasted on clam chowder and fried oysters and then drove home on a scary, twisty mountain road straight out of a sports car commercial. The scenery was breathtaking, but I was glad Erik was driving. We hit a little traffic coming home, but got home before 7.
What a lovely and relaxing afternoon at the beach! I can see why people call this the Best Coast. I can't wait to explore more of this gorgeous coastline.
