Zuma Beach
Live out the California dream of surf, sand, and sun at one of Los Angeles’ finest beaches. Besides being a popular filming location, Zuma Beach is known for its clean water conditions and excellent surf. It’s also an ideal spot to see dolphins and California sea lions frolicking in the waters during the warm summer months. With 1.8 miles of beach frontage, this seaside gem affords plenty of space for you to play frisbee, people-watch, try kite-flying, or simply enjoy a picnic. There are food stands selling snacks and drinks at each end of the beach. – Tripadvisor
