Zuma Beach

Discovered this place on a whim. You can pull your car right up and watch the sunset with the seat back. Beautiful

This was my second visit to the beach. It started off cloudy but ended sunny which made for a really nice day overall. The beach wasn’t crowded, just comfortably populated. I paid for parking, but honestly, street parking might be a better choice next time. The bathroom situation was less than ideal. It was pretty gross, but I guess that’s not too surprising for a “public” beach. On the bright side, the waves were great, the atmosphere was family- and pet-friendly, and there were volleyball nets and attentive lifeguards, which is always reassuring. All in all, a decent beach day with room for improvement!

Beautiful and spacious beach. Very clean and peaceful being public beach. Plenty of volleyball courts.

Love this beach!! Sunset is just amazing. Get to occasionally see dolphins. Cool place to just hangout. Love this part of LA, unmatched!!!

Really nice beach, it has clear sand it’s well maintained. The parking is big and there is enough space all around the place. It also has restrooms with running water and soap. We visited at the end of September and the water was nice. I wish there was some umbrella rental or food to buy at this time of the year.
