Malibu’s relationship with the ocean is a long battle between land and sea. There is a great way to watch the show not only from the beach or from a boat in the ocean but from the 780 foot pier!
One of the areas best known landmarks, the more than 100-year-old pier in Malibu has a long and interesting history, serving as private shipping wharf, public promenade and even U.S. Coast Guard lookout station.
The Los Angeles Conservancy has announced the Malibu Pier as a recipient of its 28th annual Preservation Awards, which recognize outstanding achievement in the field of historic preservation. The pier has been practically rebuilt after El Nino storms in 1993 and 1995 nearly destroyed it.
When the pier fully reopened last year, there was much public praise. The award was given to the pier as during its renovation it stayed true to its original concept. The state started renovations of the pier in 1999 with a budget of $6.2 million.
The pier is nearly completely open and is restored to the condition of a 1950′s tourist attraction. It really is great news for the community.
