If you mean Zuma, it's now a marine protected area. Here's a link to maps and information about southern California MPAs.

This whole MLPA stuff is confusing as heck. From my understanding, Zuma Beach is a State Marine Conservation Area where take, damage, injury, or possession of any marine
resource (living, geological or cultural) is prohibited EXCEPT for species expressly allowed for recreational and/or commercial take. Sounds like it's legal to fish from the beach here?? Can someone who knows the deal please chime in here. Thanks.
