1. Zuma Beach
FUN FACTS!
It’s waters are a little colder than other Los angles Beaches.
It’s popular for swimming and body surfing, but is known for having a rough surf and riptides.
FUN FACTS!
It’s made up of a number of cove or cliff-foot strands known as “pocket beaches”.
Can be crowded during the summer. During off seasons, it's perfect for those who love solitude.
FUN FACTS!
The historic Surfrider Beach located in this area was one of the places where surfing culture first developed.
For history buffs. the Adamson House and Malibu Lagoon Museum are places to visit to learn some history behind the area and the city of Malibu.
FUN FACTS!
On a clear day, you can see the entire Santa Monica Bay and distant Catalina Island.
Along with Zuma Beach, you can see grey whales during their December-March migration.
FUN FACTS!
It’s the first real beach in Malibu.
Though it’s one of the most popular surfing spots in the area, the waves break over cobblestones and the reef so it’s not an ideal swimming spot. Besides surfing, people also like to visit the beach for scuba diving, fishing, and sunbathing.
