Malibu's shoreline is legendary, but affordable stays here are rare. These cheap beach hotels, including the 3 below, put you near the sand without stretching your wallet. Expect motel-style rooms, free parking, and easy access to the Pacific Coast Highway.
Many of these properties, like Hotel June Malibu, offer outdoor pools, family rooms, and beach essentials-ideal for surfers and weekend road-trippers. The M Malibu, another option, sits in the heart of town, just minutes from Malibu Pier and its dining scene.
