Places 1:
The Malibu Pier was first built in 1906
to serve the Malibu Rancho as a shipping
wharf. Opened to the public in 1934, it
became a favorite sport fishing spot.
Current renovations by CA State Parks are
expected to be complete by 2002, when it
will again become a prominent local tourist
attraction.
