Malibu Beach Proposal
If you’re interested in proposing to your loved one at the beaches of Malibu, you’ll want to keep these few things in mind. And if you’re wondering why you should listen to me, well, I’m a born and raised Malibu local, and I’m here to help you!
When should you do your Malibu Beach Proposal?
You should choose a date or time of year that has significance to you and your loved one. That’s the most important step. The date of your proposal is going to forever be a part of your love story. That being said, here are a few tips for each time of the year for you to keep in mind, whatever date you choose!
Spring: Spring is a beautiful time of year in Malibu. The hills and cliffs are covered in beautiful yellow wildflowers, the temperature is still cool (and sometimes foggy). Late February, March and early April are the best months for wildflowers.
Here are 5 beaches where you can view wildflowers on the cliffs:Summer: The most iconic month for a Malibu Beach Proposal, but also the most difficult to execute. If I had to recommend anything, it would be to check the tide chart and try to avoid the weekends if you can. However, if you want to propose on the weekend…
Here are some of the least crowded beaches in the summer:Fall: Fall is my personal favorite time of the year in Malibu. The summer crowds have gone, the weather (and the ocean) is still warm, and the sun is beginning to set back over the ocean instead of over the land. You’ll be able to propose in front of some stunning sunsets in the fall. Also, the tides are beginning to be low at sunset!
Here are the best beaches to view sunsets in the fall:Winter: Winter is a beautiful season in Malibu. The sun sets the farthest out to sea on the Winter Solstice, creating a beautiful spectacle for your proposal. And believe it or not, it’s not that cold on the beaches in the winter, especially at beaches that are sheltered by high cliff faces.

Malibu Beach Proposal Outfit Ideas
Wear something nice, especially if you’re hiring a photographer to capture the moment. Your future fiancé will thank you. Bobby and Casey wore the perfect summer outfit.
If you can find a way to get your future fiancé to get their nails done, do it. But if you can’t don’t stress! I always bring a couple sets of false nails for your fiancé to pop on for pictures.
Here are some great nail salons in Malibu:

A great way to throw your loved one off your trail is by booking dinner at a Nice Restaurant in Malibu. That way, they’ll be dressed up for the proposal pictures, and you’ll have a romantic way to celebrate afterward. Bobby and Casey went out to eat at one of my favorite upscale restaurants in Malibu, Geoffrey’s.
