Visitors to Malibu will soon be able to do more hiking and camping in one of the state's most popular beachfront cities.
The California Coastal Commission unanimously approved a plan by the Santa Monica Mountains conservancy to extend trails and allow overnight camping in Malibu's coastal parks.
The 12-member panel also denied a request by the city to outlaw camping within its borders despite the strong objections of residents.
The conservancy wants to create 29 campsites and add 3.5 miles of canyon trails and trail connections in Ramirez Canyon, Escondido Canyon and Corral Canyon parks.
