I live one mile away from the meet place and unless only 9 cars show it's not going to work, this is a very busy strip mall. I'm lucky to find parking for myself at times, not at 7AM but its usually packed. Taking Topanga is not a fun canyon cruise. It's a heavily traveled connection from the valley to Malibu. More likely to get caught behind an 8 wheeler. And then to finally crawl north on PCH on a Sunday to Santa Monica just is not a good plan.
There are so many better canyons that have no congestion and much better twisties that lead to much better places then Samo beach.
