Malibu Lagoon is where Malibu Creek meets the Pacific Ocean. The result is a unique environment of plant and animal life adapted to fresh and salt water. Over two hundred species of birds can be seen here at various times of the year. Down these steps is the boathouse, built for the Adamson family; it stored a canoe, kayak and rowboat which were launched from the ramp.
