TOPANGA BEACH

With over a mile of ocean frontage and 21.5 acres of property, Topanga Beach is the first real beach in Malibu.

This is one of the most popular surfing spots in the area. Nevertheless, the waves here break over cobblestones and reef, so this is not an ideal swimming spot.

Aside from surfing, many visit this beach to scuba dive, fish, and sunbathe.

This beach offers 96 parking spaces and beach wheelchairs are also available. There are also restrooms, a picnic area, and showers on site.

Once a state beach, Topanga Beach became a Los Angeles County-owned beach in 1995, when the County received grant deeds for eight beaches from the State of California.
