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.

Some people still fish in this area, sometimes you get hassled, sometimes you don't... :Wink:
Permitted/Prohibited Uses: Take of all living marine resources is prohibited except:
