California Dreaming: Malibu Beach Inn

Posted byBy Stan | Published on: | Updated on June 12, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

On the beach… Next to the beach… Steps from the beach… All these are phrases you hear often that are almost never meant to be taken literally. Unless, that is, you are staying at the Malibu Beach Inn.

Walk into this charming, boutique hotel, situated right on Pacific Coast Highway, and you will be swept away. You will also immediately notice that you are directly on the beach. With a distinct California modern feel, touches of a beach-look theme splashed throughout and a laid-back surfer atmosphere, the Malibu Beach Inn still manages to be the place to see and be seen,

The intimate lobby boasts inviting leather couches and chairs that lead out to the magnificent outdoor restaurant, which offers a view of Malibu so stunning you may find yourself ordering extra appetizers. And you won’t be sorry you did once you’ve had a taste of the gourmet food that is both healthy and hearty, the perfect compliment to the sensational view and highly attentive staff ready to please even the most finicky diner. Once you’ve eaten, follow the stairs down from the restaurant and step out onto the creamy, white sand that is distinctly Malibu.

A run on the beach will be hard to resist so go for it, and upon your return you will find a member of the friendly beach staff waiting to set up your lounge chair and umbrella on the beach. Dive in and enjoy the surf, then step out into the zen: experience yoga on the beach, to help heal your mind, body and soul. The hotel can arrange your yoga lesson, as well as lush spa treatments at the Cure Spa to rejuvenate and renew your senses.

Just a short walk or quick drive away you’ll find the Country Malibu Mart, an outdoor mall…

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
