About Zuma Beach in Malibu, California
Zuma Beach is a Los Angeles county park facility in Malibu. It’s a long wide beach with enough parking spaces for the Superbowl. The main beach at Zuma is about two miles long and doesn’t have any homes between the sand and Pacific Coast Highway – a contrast to many of the Malibu beaches that have homes built right to the high water mark.
Zuma is a massive beach with lifeguard stations spaced out on the shore to protect people who risk swimming these waters. Strong rip currents can develop at Zuma Beach so be aware if you want to swim. However, this is a gradually sloping beach so it’s great for taking off the sandals and walking in the surf. Sunbathing is best in the afternoons as Zuma Beach faces southwest.
Sand volleyball courts, picnic areas, restrooms, and concession stands can be found at various spots along the beach.
If you don’t want to pay to enter the Zuma parking lots, there are spots along the southbound lanes of PCH.
The southern part of Zuma County Beach is called Westward Beach and it is easiest to access from Westward Beach Road on Point Dume. Zuma Lagoon, between Westward Beach and Zuma Beach, is a good place for watching birds.
