Zuma Beach

I had heard from several people at work that Zuma Beach is an awesome beach to visit. Kaleb and I had planned to go for quite a while but the first couple of times we planned it the weather was crappy. Finally a day came where the weather would be descent. 

Zuma Beach is in Malibu and it would take us about an hour to get there. There is a canyon that you have to drive through to get there called Kanan Canyon. I have taken this canyon on several occasions to get to different catering events and it is so gorgeous! There are vineyards and it is so incredibly green! I have always talked about it to Kaleb and we always talked about driving it together.

I was so excited to get to the canyon, but when we got there everything was dead! I was so disappointed. Of course, in October that is when things die off, I just didn't really think about it. It was still a pretty drive but the vineyards were dead and it wasn't nearly as green as it normally was. 

The parking was a little bit crazy but after a couple U turns we were able to get a spot. The Ocean smelled amazing and I loved the sand between my toes. It was too chilly to even touch the water so we just sat on our towels and enjoyed watching the waves. 

We sat on some higher ground because the waves were pretty big and we didn't want to get wet. A few minutes after we settled down a lady sunbathing in her leopard cover up and sun hat got hit by a wave and all of their stuff got wet. They weren't even that close but there were some waves that just went out of control! It was absolutely hilarious!!! After that Kaleb and I moved a little farther away from the shore. A couple of girls on the other side of us were gossiping like Crazy!! I couldn't hear a lot but they were talking about their boyfriends. One was talking about how she controls him and he better do what she says. The boyfriends came around later and she was so bossy to him! Kaleb and I just laughed it off and tried to ignore her. 

Later a dad and his two kids came a long and they sat right up close to the shore. Everyone around us was wondering if we should tell them not to sit close, but they were the type that were brave enough to get in the water so we didn't say anything to them.

 It was fun to see the kids playing in the water and the dad sitting in his cowboy in his lounge chair. But then the little boy starting running around with the shovel shouting annoying phrases that didn't even make sense. That is when Kaleb and I decided that we enjoy our peace and quiet!

 We took the Pacific Coast Highway on the way home so we could enjoy the view a little bit longer. 

I always love when we get to go to the beach. It is so relaxing!
