Runners can unwind along miles of sand at Malibu's Westward Beach, the southern stretch of Zuma County Beach. The easily accessible expanse offers gentler summer crowds past Point Dume's western cliffs. Westward's sun-soaked coastline stays open for soothing seaside jogs all year.

Hiking

This lower part of the Preserve is accessible by car, so in summer the beach tends to be more busy than the secluded eastern section of the beach, separated by the steep cliffs at the end of the trail a few hundred yards past the road turnaround.
