New Entrance, Parking Lots at Zuma Beach
- Share via
Los Angeles County officials celebrated this week the completion of $9.4 million in improvements at Zuma Beach in Malibu.
Replacing the former drab beach entrance are Mission-style tiled archways--which were featured in Architectural Digest--that lead to 12 newly paved parking lots. Improvements also include remodeled bathrooms with space for changing into swimsuits.
To allow the public to walk safely to two concession stands, a 12-foot-wide promenade was built. In the past, beach-goers would often walk across the parking lot.
A sand wall was also constructed to keep storm debris from blowing into the parking lots.
The improvements were funded in part by Proposition A, a county measure passed in 1992 that provided money for parks and open space.
