Malibu & Pacific Palisades
Up on a bluff overlooking Surfrider Beach is this gorgeous Spanish-style villa, which used to belong to the Rindge family and is awash in locally made, hand-painted tiles. Check out the ‘Persian rug’ in the entryway and the tiled dog bath outside. The last tour leaves at 2pm.
To learn more about Malibu’s arc of history – Chumash to glamour town – pop into the adjacent Malibu Lagoon Museum.
From here it’s a pleasant stroll through the marsh to Surfrider Beach.
