We just moved to the area. Decided to take a visit to Oxnard and Malibu. We loved this beach. We also really love the restaurant across the highway. Spruzzo's the one with orange umbrellas outside.

Zuma is hands down the best beach in Malibu. You can find parking in the pay lot or, depending upon timing, free parking alongside the access road down by Point Dume. A beautiful beach for a run or a relaxing day in the sun. The water will be chilly, so if it's not summer time you won't want to spend... More
