Zuma Beach, Public beach in Malibu, United States

Zuma Beach is a county beach at 30000 Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, one of the largest and most popular in Los Angeles County. Its long, wide tan sands slope gently to the surf, with scattered footprints and debris and a line of white foam where the water meets the sand. Fourteen lifeguard towers stand on the sand, with a section headquarters at the centre.

The name may derive from Point Dume, which George Vancouver named in 1793 after Padre Francisco Dumetz of Mission San Buenaventura; a misspelling on his map was never corrected. An 1870 plat map of Rancho Topanga Malibu Sequit, confirmed to Matthew Keller, marks the point as "Point Zuma or Duma".

The strand draws families from across the region on weekends, who gather on the maintained volleyball courts or take long walks along the shoreline. In summer the spot serves as a meeting point for locals who arrive after work to watch the sunset or bring children to play in the shallow areas near the water's edge.

Lifeguard stations are spread along the shore and remain staffed during peak season, posting warnings when conditions become rough. Public restrooms and showers sit near the parking areas, while small food vendors can be found at the northern and southern ends of the site.

No residential buildings stand between Pacific Coast Highway and the sand, so the entire shoreline remains visible from the road. This open layout allows clear sight lines from the parking area all the way to the water, with no structures blocking the view.
