Nicholas Canyon County Beach sits on Malibu's northern coast with a long sandy stretch, bluff-top picnic areas, restrooms, and showers, plus a left-breaking point surfers call "Zeros" or "Point Zero" that comes alive on summer south swells over a boulder point. It's generally less crowded than the beaches closer to town and has a proper parking lot, making it a comfortable choice for a full day of swimming, picnicking, and surfing away from the busiest spots.
