The Most Interesting Man in the WorldMarch 29, 2014Remember: in case of attack, you don’t have to be able to swim faster than a shark. Rather, you have to swim faster than the slowest person in the water with you. Then, hope for a lazy shark.
Derek NielsenJune 21, 2015Great beach. Not too overcrowded like some beaches in L.A. are. Great for strolls along the beach too. The sunsets are beautiful 😍 Definitely one of my favorite beaches to visit.
- Justin W.August 5, 2013Best beach in SoCal! Great waves, beautiful area w/ mountains hugging the coast. Not too far out from town and the water is very good. Skip Santa Monica and come up PCH a bit. You'll be glad you did.
NmMay 3, 2020One of the most popular beaches in California .. Massive & Long with huge parking lot !!
InterContinental Hotels & ResortsDecember 10, 2012If the weather is nice, and it almost always is, Zuma Beach is one of the best places to spend your afternoon at in Los Angeles. Take in the picture-perfect panorama, and enjoy the West Coast sun! Read more- Jana L.July 29, 2013Nice, relaxing beach. The best parking of any of the local beaches, a huge perk if you're lugging tons of supplies. There's free street parking, though I recommend the paid parking for convenience.
LaraSeptember 8, 2014What a day... What a beach. Clean waters and sand. Arrive early to get a good spot. Free parking on Wayward Beach Street right off PCH.
Travel + LeisureAugust 1, 2012Park for free on Westward Beach Road, right off the Pacific Coast Highway. For dinner, try the Reel Inn, where you eat simply grilled fish from a tray at picnic tables.
ZUMA SRF christianjohnvolzDecember 21, 2014The beach, mountains, surf, water and sunsets. VOLZumaSrf was born here and will most likely# die here. However all of my friends and family have since abandoned me, so the birds may have to pick
Hillary NoelleMay 3, 2015The ocean is beautiful. Never too crowded and an amazing view of the mountains. Might see whales or seals!
Darren FarrisJune 27, 2011Great "default" beach on PCH. If you want something more private just go up the road. Plenty of life guards if you have the kiddos- but don't be a goof! Like any SoCal beach- riptides can be fierce.
BérengerSeptember 5, 2015Maybe touristic, but the beach is so big and long that there is plenty of room for everybody. The walk along the shore is great!
Meghan LapidesSeptember 7, 2015This is a great malibu beach. Pretty typical. Got crowded on the weekend but was much less so on a weekday.
- Andrew BC 翁 ÔNGOctober 7, 2014Wow what's a beautiful beach of surfing paradise with the amazing waves in Malibu. You're welcome here & enjoy yourself.
Chen CaoMarch 15, 2015It's an absolutely beautiful beach. You can walk into the ocean via the sand bar that's just a few feet away from the shore
Michelle Arnaiz-Dela RosaNovember 24, 2015Beautiful beach. Nice place to spend the day with friends and family.
Kyle HarrisJune 23, 2011Beautiful beach. Gets kinda crowded in the summer but still super fun. Beach patrol is super uptight there though. They definately have no problem writing you a ticket
Jeremy KrantzNovember 14, 2014LA's greatest beach. Popular, clean and fun. Decent waves but watch out for the riptide!
Oracle MalibuMarch 8, 2014Zuma Beach is one of the most magical destinations in the world !!! The whale and dolphin spotting is euphoric!
Darla DennisJuly 11, 2013It was a perfect day for the Beach, cool and cloudy, then sun came out, swimming in the waves for about 2 hours, then the cloud cover came back.
The mountains dotted with wealthy Malibu homes drop sharply to the beach below offering a surreal landscape experience.
Trenton MorrowAugust 28, 2015The beach was clean and not overly crowded, making for an incredibly relaxing mini-getaway.
Human TripodJuly 28, 2011Awesome beach! Not too crowded, excellent surf/wave conditions, super soft sand...perfect! Only complaint would be parking.
Melinda JacksonMay 7, 2015Just park on the side of the road, it's free. As long as you obey the signs, you won't get towed.
Vanity Fair AgendaJanuary 30, 2012The hills meet the ocean at this absolutely beautiful beach and will make you forget that you are but a few miles away from the 11 million residents of greater Los Angeles.
Jessica Torrez-RileyJuly 11, 2012Check out the beach caves in the North of the beach, but bring sneaks for climbing the rocks.
Анна КоршенкоDecember 1, 2014You have to pay for your parking. But time is unlimited. If you want a public park, which is not worse, it is nearby.
Kenton CoppleJuly 28, 2011Perfect shoreline for skimboarding during mid/high-tide, just be extra cautious hitting those swells!
- Bruonis Clothing Co.November 21, 2011This is our favorite SoCal beach. Come to see dolphins and enjoy the beautiful weather.

"Amazing food! Perfect location. The lobster tacos are out of this world. Calamari is OK, nothing exceptional. Carrot Cake is nicely done, chunky pieces of carrot, more than in any I have tried before."
