Zuma Beach is part of the Santa Monica Mountains State Park in Malibu, California. It has been carefully preserved so that it is wide and clean, with dunes topped with sea oats and a lively population of seals and California sea lions. Over 350 species of migratory birds make their way to these shores, making it an important destination for birdwatchers. There is lots of parking at this beach, and it has several lifeguard stations, clean restrooms, and food stalls. It is popular with sunbathers, swimmers, and those who love to build sandcastles, and its mild waves bring novice surfers eager to learn in a safe environment. There are volleyball courts and swings for the kids.
