Day Trip ~ The Colony Beach, Malibu

The weather is supposed to be in the 80's this weekend, so deciding what kind of a trip I would post about, was easy: A Beach Trip. But the question still remained... Which Beach? 
I love all of our LA beach but one in particular stands out. So, when Zuma is just too far, and Santa Monica and Venice just too filthy, and Hermosa and Manhattan too flooded with frat boys. Take my advise and head 15 minutes up the PCH to The Colony Beach in Malibu. 

Tucked away and hidden from sunburned tourists and beach going amateurs, The Colony Beach is the perfect place to spend an afternoon with friends, sneak a beer, read a book and beat the heat. On a side note: My boyfriend recently bought me a FlipCam, and on a recent trip to The Colony Beach with a few friends I gave video journalism a go! Its my first attempt, so I'm begging for your patience and understanding, but hopefully it gives you a sense of the beach and gets you excited to go!

Get me there:  From Downtown take the 10 west to the PCH. Head North till you hit the intersection of the Webb Way. Take a Left. At the first stop take a Right onto Malibu Rd. Curise for about 1.2 miles, and on your left hand side between lots 24724 and 24700 you'll find The Colony Beach. Take the sandy steps down to the beach, pick your plot and enjoy.

Give me food: While it pails in comparison to the original in New York, Cafe Habana does the trick after a long day in the sun.  Recommendations: the grilled Mexican corn and a mojito. If you don't want to waste a minute of your day indoors, you can always pick up a sandwich or snack at the Ralph's too.

Let me sleep: Soak up some vitamin D while catching some z's right there on the beach.
