AssetID: 105781656 / {Erik Isakson} / Cyclists road riding in Malibu Malibu (pronounced /ˈmælɨbuː/ ) is an affluent, beachfront city in northwestern Los Angeles County , California , United States . As of the 2010 census, the city population was 12,645. Malibu consists of a 21-mile (34 km) strip of prime Pacific coastline. Nicknamed "the 'Bu" by surfers and locals, the community is famous for its warm, sandy beaches, and for being the home of many Hollywood movie stars and others associated with the entertainment industry. Signs around the city proclaim "27 miles of scenic beauty", referring to Malibu's original length of 27 miles (43 km) before the city was incorporated in 1991. Most Malibu residents live within a few hundred yards of Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1 ), which traverses the city, with some residents living up to a mile away from the beach up narrow canyons, and many more residents of the unincorporated canyon areas identifying Malibu as their hometown. The city is also bounded (more or less) by Topanga Canyon to the East, the Santa Monica Mountains consisting of Agoura Hills , Calabasas , and Woodland Hills to the North, the Pacific Ocean to the South, and Ventura County to the West. Malibu's beaches include Surfrider Beach, Zuma Beach , Malibu State Beach, Topanga State Beach, Point Dume State Beach and Dan Blocker Beach; its local parks include Malibu Bluffs Park (formerly Malibu Bluffs State Park), Trancas Canyon Park, Las Flores Creek Park, and Legacy Park, with neighboring parks Malibu Creek State Park , Leo Carrillo State Beach and Park , Point Mugu State Park , and the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area , and neighboring state beach Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beach, that was once part of Old Malibu (before Malibu became a city), and better known as pristine beaches, El Pescador, La Piedra and El Matador.
