Birdwatching, or “birding” as it’s known to ornithology aficionados, is familiar hobby at Malibu Lagoon. And it’s no wonder: Located just half a mile from Malibu Beach Inn, it’s a bird lover’s paradise. You’ll encounter many types of birds here, including great blue herons, ospreys, double crested cormorants, Heermann’s gulls, brown pelicans, snowy egrets, least terns, and many more.
Those binoculars can significantly enhance a seabird spotting, especially during the nesting season of snowy plovers, one of the most common birds at Malibu Lagoon. “Having a pair of binoculars [means] you can see those tiny little fluffball chicklets — they are the cutest things you’ve ever seen,” says Dagit. Snowy plovers nest right on the beach, so it’s important to respect the post “fences” that mark the boundaries of their area, because nests are easily disturbed. However, snowy plovers break the rules themselves sometimes to hang out with the surfers on the main part of the beach, laughs Dagit.

For a higher vantage point, hike up to the overlook at Point Dume. In addition to these other marine mammals, it’s an excellent place for whale watching. “Gray whales can be seen near shore during their northbound migration, while minke whales, blue whales and fin whales are at times present more offshore in these waters,” says Bearzi. November through April provides your best chance at viewing gray whales, while newborn whale calves can be seen migrating from February through the end of spring.

From its rocky shores to its deep blue waters, Malibu’s natural landscape is much of what makes it such an idyllic destination. But it’s not only a haven for visitors and (human) residents — thanks to its unique geographic features, it’s also a peaceful sanctuary for the area’s beach wildlife.
“It’s still got a lagoon — 95 percent of the coastal lagoons in Southern California are gone, so there aren’t many choices if you’re a creature that needs that kind of habitat,” explains Rosi Dagit, senior conservation biologist at the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains. “It [also] has a creek, and much of the upper watershed is protected open space in public state parks or national parks. So even though there’s quite a big population of people, there’s also still room for other creatures that live there.”
Luckily for visitors, these creatures aren’t all tucked away in secret hideaways or inaccessible nooks. Wildlife spotting is a popular pastime in Malibu, and there’s no shortage of incredible species to observe.
To help protect these animals and their habitats, there are a few guidelines to keep in mind. Don’t leave any trash on the beach (and try to pick up any you come across), says Dagit. If you see an animal in distress, alert a lifeguard on the beach (or call the Malibu Wildlife Center). Don’t collect or touch any marine life, and of course, keep a safe distance and respect any barriers or signage you see to give wildlife their space.
Even so, visitors can still enjoy incredible views of Malibu’s vast beach wildlife with a few strategic tips. Bring along a pair of binoculars for up-close looks, wear sturdy shoes for hiking and rock-hopping, and make your way to these three places for prime wildlife spotting near Malibu Beach Inn. While marine mammals, birds, and other sea life can be seen all along the Malibu coastline, you’re almost sure to see something amazing at these destinations.

The Mansion (Recording Studio) is a 4-bedroom mansion formerly owned by music producer Rick Rubin in the Laurel Canyon area of Los Angeles. Originally built in 1918, the house is famous for the successful bands who have recorded music there. Although many say[1] that Harry Houdini lived at the mansion,[2] no one has ever lived in the Mansion under the name "Houdini", a fact that Corey Taylor, singer of the bands Stone Sour and Slipknot, has said in his book A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven. The book also describes his paranormal experiences in the Mansion while recording Slipknot's 2004 album Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses). After recording the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik with considerable ease and comfort, Rubin decided to use the mansion to record many of the albums he has produced, including the Red Hot Chili Peppers's Stadium Arcadium, Audioslave's Out of Exile, The Mars Volta's De-Loused in the Comatorium, Slipknot's Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), and Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight.
Since 1991, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have returned to the mansion on numerous occasions; the tracks "Fortune Faded" and "Save the Population" on 2003's Greatest Hits compilation, and more recently the group's 2006 album Stadium Arcadium were recorded there. The mansion can also be seen on the Chili Peppers' 1991 DVD Funky Monks, Linkin Park's DVD The Making of Minutes to Midnight, and in a series of eight clips uploaded to LCD Soundsystem's official YouTube channel documenting the creation of This Is Happening.
The house was owned by Errol Flynn in the late 1930s. There is confusion between The Mansion, at 2451 Laurel Canyon Blvd. and The Houdini Estate, at 2400 Laurel Canyon Blvd. The Houdini Estate is now owned by José Luis Nazar.[1] The five-acre estate is now rented out for events and weddings.

The gleaming white beaches of Malibu, hedged against the Pacific by broken chaparral ranges, have long served both as settings for motion pictures and playgrounds for the rich and famous attached to them. Many come to sprawl on the sand, but possibilities for outdoor recreation of a more active kind are rich, whether it's hiking in rugged canyons or surfing the world-famous breakers. Strapping on swim fins, wetsuit and snorkel is another avenue for accessing the natural character of this sun-spattered stretch of coast.
