The Trail

Sur Walk is a loop trail, which means that you will end up back where you started. The trailhead is located at the end of Winding Way in Malibu.

As you begin your hike, you will encounter a steep incline. Don’t worry, it levels out after a quarter-mile. From there, you will make your way through a beautiful oak forest and encounter several creek crossings.

One of the highlights of Sur Walk is the 30-foot waterfall, which you will reach after about 2 miles of hiking. This is a great spot to take a break and enjoy the scenery.

After the waterfall, the trail becomes more challenging and steep. But the views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains make it all worth it.

As you near the end of the trail, you will encounter a series of switchbacks that will take you back down to the trailhead.
