BeachExpert Tips & Helpful Hints

Swimming, surfing, diving, volleyball—it's all here. This is one of the Malibu beaches with lots of parking, but you have to pay for it. All Malibu beaches are smoke- and dog-free.
Many surfers consider this two-mile stretch of sand Malibu's best all-around beach. By the way, don't call it Zuma Beach, just call it Zuma if you want to fit in with the local scene.
Lifeguards are on duty, so surf near them. If you're a diver, stop and let lifeguards know where you're planning to dive and how long you'll be under.
