Zuma Beach, Public beach in Malibu, United States
Zuma Beach extends over two miles along the Pacific coast, featuring wide sandy areas and consistent waves for water activities throughout the year.
The beach became a public recreational space in the 1940s when Los Angeles County acquired the land to establish unrestricted shoreline access for residents.
This section of the California coast serves as a gathering place for volleyball tournaments, surf competitions, and summer festivals that bring communities together.
The beach provides numerous amenities including lifeguard stations, restrooms, showers, food stands, and both paid parking lots and free street parking options.
With no residential structures between Pacific Coast Highway and the sand, Zuma Beach maintains clear sight lines and open access to its entire shoreline.
