About this beach
Topanga Beach is the first real beach in Malibu, with more than a mile of frontage at the mouth of Topanga Canyon. It's one of the most popular surf spots in the area; the waves break over cobblestones and reef, which also makes it a poor swimming beach. Divers and anglers use it too.
It was a state beach until 1995, when the State of California deeded it to Los Angeles County.
Facilities
The lot has 96 spaces, and there are restrooms, showers, a picnic area and beach wheelchairs.
Rules
LA County beach rules apply: no dogs, alcohol, smoking, glass, fires or barbecues, and no loitering between midnight and 6 a.m.
