Jenny Price over at LA-insider guide Native Intelligence has published an excellent guide to entering Malibu's "private beaches." Anyone down for a few games of sloshball at David Geffen's spot this Sunday? New York Magazine published the above tidbit last year.

"So the summer goes on the Malibu beaches--well, at least the 20 miles of beaches (out of 27) lined by private development.
