Parking lot

There is ample parking at Zuma Beach in the county managed parking lot. 

While other beaches mostly have day rates (Winter $8.00 to $15.00; Summer $15.00 to $20.00) on Zuma there are now meters which charge by the 15 minute increment, up to a max charge for 90 minutes. Current rates as of 2025: $0.50 per 15 minutes (90-minute maximum). Daily parking lot rates range from $8-$20 depending on season and day of the week.

Fees are used to fund the beach cleaning and facilities such as restrooms. For parking meter issues or inquiries, contact LAZ Parking at (310) 821-1081.

NO overnight parking is permitted at Zuma Beach or any of the other LA county beaches, with the exception of RVs on Dockweiller who have bought overnight tickets.  Note that the Dockweiller 62nd Ave lot is closed until August 2020 but the Imperial Hwy lot is still open.

Nearby Attractions

While most people visit the beach just for a day of sand, sun, surf and fun, there are actually many interesting attractions all within easy reach of the beach. So if you want to combine some activities in a day in the area, or simply want to allow some members of your group to do different things, then consider some of these nearby attractions.

Point Dume - At the end of the beach, visible as you look all the way to the left while facing the sea, Point Dume is a rocky promontory that juts out into the Pacific Ocean. The point, a long bluff, forms the northern end of the Santa Monica Bay. It is most interesting as a rock climbing location as the rocking mound forms a natural climbing wall with very moderate single pitch rock climbing routes that are perfect for the beginner or training, or simply for those simply wishing to try out natural rock climbing.
