Places in Malibu: Topanga State Beach

Areas in Malibu: Topanga State Beach

Zuma is a great beach, don't get me wrong.  But sometimes you need a beach away from all the tourists, a more secluded getaway.  Short of a private beach, there is Topanga State Beach, located off Pacific Coast Highway and Topanga Canyon.  It's a great beach for surfing, swimming, and fishing, with surprisingly warm water on some days!  It is very rocky, so don't try to walk around barefoot too much.  Overall very nice beach, public restrooms available, and parking is $10.
