Why locals recommend it
Malibu always feels like a respite from the chaos of LA. I hit the restaurant at the end of the pier and write on one of their decks. When I reach capacity, I'll take out my inflatable paddleboard from the back of my car and paddle out for a quick 30 minute break amongst the surfers before coming back to write some more. Poseidon Paddle & Surf has a truck stationed close to the pier. Call and you can rent a paddleboard from them if you want to get in the water.

Tips from locals
Malibu Pier is in the backdrop of more photographs and movies than I can name. You can watch the surfers at Surfrider beach while having a cocktail at one of the restaurants there.
Watch the surfers, spot a dolphin, rub shoulders with movie stars, and leave the hustle bustle of the world behind.
