Malibu is known for the monstrous million-dollar, beach-hugging estates of the wealthy and famous, yet its outdoor offerings shouldn’t be overlooked. Head to the winding, rapidly escalating drive through Corral Canyon—thankfully, much of the scorched acreage from recent forest fires has since been colored in by vegetation. Tracing the ridges Jim Morrison used as an escape, let the booming views of Agora Hills and the Pacific Ocean spread out before you. Leave the vehicles behind, and you'll find an abundance of man’s first retreat from the wild caves. Complete with eerie spiral stone arrangements, these bundles of rock are yours to explore. Seek out the unmarked but obvious cave inside which The Doors front man spangled his thoughts. When the city becomes too noisy, hiding in a Corral Canyon cave might be the best place to perfect your own bit of noise.
