Features
Zuma is protected by the Lifeguard unit of the Los Angeles County Fire Department, with 14 guard towers on the right sand and one from four Headquarters L.A. The district is located in the center of the beach. Like all beaches with good waves, Zuma has a section of torn currents. Visitors are encouraged not to swim or surf in front of Lifeguard Headquarters between Towers 8 and 9, a very vulnerable area of ​​torn currents. In fact, rip currents are so common that in 2007 the Los Angeles County Fire Department Fire Department used Zuma Beach to describe rip currents.
Zuma Beach hosts several major surfing events each year. With optimal wind conditions almost daily in the afternoon, Zuma attracts many people to kitesurfing at the northern end of Zuma Beach.
Zuma Beach is accessible directly from PCH, and is located between the main access corridor of Las Virgenes/Malibu Canyon Road and Kanan-Dume Road in the southeast, and Las Posas Road to the northwest. Parking is available in the parking lot at great cost. Additional parking is available at the adjacent PCH.
On the southeast side, Zuma is bordered by the West Coast. Westward is geographically located on the western cape of Malibu known as Point Dume. To the west includes a two-way stretch of road right at the edge of the sand. Parking is available on the street as well as parking lot fees. Westward Beach is characterized by a shorter sand rack from Zuma, the pipeline really, making waves with less duration and higher impact. Westward Beach is recommended only for strong swimmers, as the action of waves versus Zuma Beach is stronger, can hit swimmers, and provide more "cracks". Westward Beach is where former coast guard Jesse Billauer had an accident that paralyzed him.
