Preview: Who wouldn't love to morph into a privileged Malibu beach dweller for a day or two? Well, here’s your chance. Pack a bathing suit, some shorts, a couple of T-shirts, and a comfortably casual after-dark outfit, and head for Pacific Coast Highway. Don’t stop until you get to the Malibu Beach Inn, about 25 miles due west from downtown Los Angeles. With the J. Paul Getty Museum villa closed until 2003 and the Malibu Pier boarded up because of storm damage until at least the summer of 2002, there’s not much to do here except walk on the beach, watch the surfers, marvel at the sunsets, and gaze up at wildflower-draped mountains that seem to tumble (literally, sometimes) to the sea. Couple nature’s awesome gifts with the temporal wonders of movie stars who live here in megamillion-dollar oceanfront homes, and it’s easy to leave the city behind for a couple of days. This chapter is a true insiders’ guide revealing great nightlife, romantic hotels, intimate dining venues, secluded retreats, and much more.
