Zuma Beach
Edit SpotAbout
This spot is not especially good for surfing, but is really good for body boarding and skim boarding.
Additional Info:
This spot is never really crowded because the beach is pretty long (3 miles) and the waves break about the same all along the beach. Tons of sandbar peaks. Can hold big swells (double overhead).
