Malibu, California
Malibu (/ˈmælɪbuː/) is a beach city in western Los Angeles County, California, about 30 miles (48 km) west of Downtown Los Angeles. It has a Mediterranean climate. The 21-mile (34 km) strip of the Malibu coast incorporated in 1991 into the City of Malibu. The area is home of Hollywood movie stars, people in the entertainment industry, and other affluent residents. Most Malibu residents live within a few hundred yards of Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1), which crosses the city, with some residents living up to a mile (1.6 km) away from the beach up narrow canyons. As of the 2020 census, the population was 10,654.[6]
