Things to Do
Although most people simply refer to the beach as “Malibu Beach,” the coastline in Malibu is actually made up of a number of beaches with different landscapes and activities.
Zuma Beach is a great place for families looking to simply relax on the sand and enjoy the water. They have volleyball, food stands, tables, restrooms, and rentals that make a day on the beach a lot more convenient.
El Matador is the perfect place for a peaceful beach walk. This beach is much rockier with a very pronounced cliff that separates it from the sea. The views are the attraction at El Matador, and since the coastline is a bit less sandy, there are usually fewer visitors.
