This beach is very less crowded and you can always take your kids to play for the day long. Parking on the side of the road is easy.

Depending on the time of year, this place can be quiet or really crowded. The scenery is terrific. Sand is ok but there are a lot of rocks. So be careful. If the surf is up its a good place to watch surfers although Zuma is better.

As a local who loves this beach I wish i could tell you all to stay away. This little beach is beloved by local surfers and on the other side of PCH is one of our favorite places to eat, The Reel Inn. Yes its rocky but those rocks hold tons of sea creatures to observe tide pool style. We have seen seal snails, spiney lobsters, sea cucumbers and evey a baby octopus here in the rocks. At low tide you can walk past the sea wall and see all the expensive houses on the coast. Just be cool to the locals. Worth the visit.

Like Surfrider Beach, it's closer than Zuma but look out for surfers who are running across the road no matter what and drivers who are slamming on their brakes in a useless attempt to find parking. A few days ago we saw two barefoot surfers making a mad dash across the hot asphalt to their cars while carrying open glass bottles of beer it's gnarly dude! Above all be safe on PCH.

It was foggy but what a beautiful area. Nice vista, surf and good vibes. Great mountains to drive in close by. A So Cal staple and a must visit when in L.A. area

Abundant, affordable parking with decent bathrooms. This is a great place to watch sufers, enjoy the breeze. Far away from the city but close enough to be accessible. Away from the crowds of the Santa Monica Pier and the cost of Malibu. After a nice day at the beach, you can take a long scenic drive through Topanga Canyon.

we stopped by to see the sunset as it is one of the few beaches where the sun sets over the ocean this time of year. the wind surfers were out in force and the sun set was awesome. A small beach, but free parking on the roadside. A little less crowded than other beaches as we found parking easily. Go for the sunsets as it is a great view reflecting off the water.

We visited late on a sunny Saturday and the beach had surfers and families, but still was peaceful. The shores are a bit rocky, so beware when wading. The beach offers great views of the Los Angeles area. We saw pelicans diving for their food which was rather entertaining. Parking was free on the side of the road, but there is also parking on site for a small fee. Topango State Beach is a short and lovely drive from Los Angeles, and was devoid of the freak shows found on some of the other beaches.

If you're tempted by peeling point break waves beware of the local stink eye and negative energy.

Spiaggia carina che può essere una buona alternativa a Santa Monica. Parcheggio anche lungo la Pacific gratuitamente. Può essere una via di mezzo interessante tra la solita Santa Monica e le spiaggie di Malibu. Potete anche parcheggiare in un locale il vicino dove potete anche sorseggiare del buon vino e acquistare anche una bottiglia... Cosa assurda in questo paese:qui però si può! La sabbia é abbastanza pulita anche se in qualche angolo si può beccare la capannotta di qualche barbollo. Nel complesso comunque molto carina e non completamente isolata dalle facilities...

Небольшой пляж с интересным микроклиматом. Была здесь в январе. В дни, когда в Санта-Монике и Venice висит туман, здесь он проходит в течение получаса и снова светит солнце.

Der Topagana Beach liegt direkt am Highway No 1 und ist sehr leicht zu erreichen. Parkplätze gibt es kostenlos direkt am Strand. Der Starnd ist sehr schön und dennoch nicht überlaufen. Allerdings tummeln sich hier mehr Surfer als Schwimmer. Ein wenig Vorsicht ist daher beim baden gehen geboten. Duschen und Umkleiden sind vorhanden, als Toiletten müssen einige Dixi Klos reichen. Zum relaxen ist man hier auch genau richtig. Nichts als Sonne Sand und der Pazifik.
