# Sep 27 (Sun) — Malibu coast
|
||
|
||
**Stay:** [Airbnb — DTLA](../bookings/stays/airbnb-la-dtla.md) · check-in from 4:00 PM PDT · 1100 W Temple St
|
||
|
||
*All times are PDT.*
|
||
|
||
## Logistics
|
||
|
||
- Full coastal driving day; start early for El Matador parking
|
||
- If changing accommodation today, arrange secure luggage storage or an early luggage drop—do not leave visible bags in the car
|
||
- Finish in DTLA rather than driving back west
|
||
|
||
## Plan
|
||
|
||
> Menu: [`la_sights.md`](../la_sights.md)
|
||
|
||
- **8:00 AM** Depart
|
||
- **9:00–10:15 AM** [El Matador State Beach](https://maps.app.goo.gl/E7MMVFwEFx1FxWei7) — blufftop parking is limited; stairs lead to the beach
|
||
- **10:30 AM–12:00 PM** Point Dume; use Zuma Beach as the parking fallback
|
||
- **12:15–1:30 PM** Malibu Pier and lunch
|
||
- **2:30–4:00 PM** Santa Monica Pier and the Route 66 terminus
|
||
- **4:30–6:30 PM** Venice Canals, Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney
|
||
- **Evening** Check in at DTLA and have dinner nearby
|
||
|
||
## Optional evening alternative
|
||
|
||
- **[Water for Elephants](https://www.broadwayinhollywood.com/events/detail/water-for-elephants)** at the Hollywood Pantages starts at **6:30 PM** and runs 2 hours 20 minutes; it is the final LA performance
|
||
- This is not compatible with the full coastal plan. To attend, finish after Malibu lunch, check in by 4:00 PM and leave for the theatre around 5:30 PM
|
||
|
||
## Check shortly before departure
|
||
|
||
- Point Dume's lower parking lot was inaccessible as of 2026-08-28 because Westward Beach Road was closed; the beach remained open
|
||
- Recheck road, beach, tide and parking conditions
|
||
|
