Travel to Agoura Hills

GPS 34.14406|-118.76392 Take the 101 North; once you have passed the Lost Hills exit, you are in Agoura Hills. When you have passed Lindero Canyon exit, you are no longer in Agoura Hills. Los Angeles public transportation has one line in. During the summer, a special bus funded by the City takes passengers to and from Malibu beach.

Getting around

Best by automobile, as none of the sites are public transit accessible.

Sightseeing Tips

North of the 101 Freeway, Agoura Hills is a typically suburban bedroom community and of little interest to most travelers, however, south of the 101 lies the scenic Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area where you will catch sight of breathtaking views.
