Remember: 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.

Great 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.

Best 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.

One of the most popular beaches in California .. Massive & Long with huge parking lot !!

Jana L.

Nice, 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.

The 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

What 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.

Bérenger

Maybe touristic , but the beach is so big and long that there is plenty of room for everybody. The walk along the shore is great!

Travel + Leisure

Park 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 .

Hillary Noelle

The ocean is beautiful. Never too crowded and an amazing view of the mountains . Might see whales or seals!

Darren Farris

Great "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.

Andrew O BC 翁

Wow what's a beautiful beach of surfing paradise with the amazing waves in Malibu. You're welcome here & enjoy yourself.

Meghan Lapides

This is a great malibu beach . Pretty typical. Got crowded on the weekend but was much less so on a weekday.

Chen Cao

It'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 Rosa

Beautiful beach . Nice place to spend the day with friends and family.

Ahmet Douas

A huge, beautifully wild beach in Malibu. A must see

Great place for surf lessons with Malibu Mako Surf Club

Oracle Malibu

Zuma Beach is one of the most magical destinations in the world !!! The whale and dolphin spotting is euphoric!

Kyle Harris

Beautiful 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 Krantz

LA's greatest beach . Popular, clean and fun. Decent waves but watch out for the riptide !

Darla Dennis

It 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.

Vanity Fair Agenda

The 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.

Trenton Morrow

The beach was clean and not overly crowded , making for an incredibly relaxing mini-getaway.

Melinda Jackson

Just park on the side of the road , it's free. As long as you obey the signs, you won't get towed.

Amanda Wang

A bit abandoned during winter. Hope to be back soon during summer

Human Tripod

Awesome beach ! Not too crowded , excellent surf/wave conditions, super soft sand ...perfect! Only complaint would be parking .

Derek Jones

The mountains dotted with wealthy Malibu homes drop sharply to the beach below offering a surreal landscape experience.

Douglas Rockford

Best beach in la by far!! Wish I could come everyday

Josh Robins

$15 for parking in the lot. They accept MasterCard and Visa too.

Vera Malyutina

You will most likely see dolphins here, splashing just near the shore!!!

Hannah Muery

Awesome beach and very clean but not too crowded

Jessica Torrez-Riley

Check out the beach caves in the North of the beach , but bring sneaks for climbing the rocks.

MUST for Santa Barbara

Bex Jay

Free parking at Point Dume if you get there early enough. ;-)

Guylaine Simone Gamble

Love this beach ... And the dolphins too!

Анна Коршенко

You have to pay for your parking . But time is unlimited. If you want a public park , which is not worse, it is nearby.

Dave Lepkowski

Visited this super awesome beach ???? not too long ago

Kenton Copple

Perfect shoreline for skimboarding during mid/high-tide, just be extra cautious hitting those swells!

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. - Abdul Karim Syed
