Local moves

Zuma Beach has a large free county parking lot -- the biggest public beach lot in Malibu.

Lot 1 (south end, near the snack bar) fills first. Lots 3 and 4 in the middle are usually the last to fill.

·

Summer weekends see the entire lot full by 10 AM -- arrive before 9 AM or after 4 PM.

PCH shoulder parking is legal in designated areas north of the main lot.

·

The restrooms and showers are in the central lot complex -- easiest access from Lot 3.
