Moonshadows

Forget flip-flops and sunscreen—dolphin sightings are de riguer at this longtime PCH watering hole. With an outdoor lounge area lined with white beds and curtained booths that hangs right over the Pacific, you're practically within blowhole distance of the pods that swim close to shore. Catch afternoon rays at weekend brunch or laze on the sundeck at sunset or after dark, when Malibu locals turn out for margaritas and the salt air mixes with pretty young things.
