Standing at the edge of the ocean between Zuma Beach and Broad Beach, the Malibu West Beach Club occupies one of the most beautiful chunks of real estate in Southern California. Glorious white sand stretches to the breaking surf, and from the facility’s deck, there’s a 180-degree panorama of the vast Pacific and miles of Malibu coastline. When it’s clear, you can see Catalina Island and the Channel Islands, and almost daily you’ll spot dolphins and sometimes a family of whales leaping out of the water as they swim by.
