Malibu's beaches just became more public

credit What's better than one insider pulling back the veil on exclusive Malibu? Why two, of course. Jenny Price actually lives in Venice, but she knows her way around Malibu's hidden coves and deceptive Keep Out signs. For her first LA Observed post, she shares tips over at Native Intelligence on how to enjoy three lesser-known Malibu beaches where the wealthy residents use every trick to make us think we are not welcome on the public sand. Oh, but we are. For the inside scoop on Broad Beach, Lechuza and Escondido, check out Jenny's guide at Native Intelligence. Enjoy your weekend.

Price has the kind of keen eye and leading-edge voice about Los Angeles that we're proud to publish at LA Observed. She is the author of Flight Maps: Adventures with Nature in Modern America and is working on a new book, 13 Ways of Seeing Nature in L.A. You can read the first piece in the April issue of The Believer.
