Privacy framed by vast Pacific views and spaces built to entertain. Two residences sit directly on the sand, pairing immediate beach access with terraces, courtyards, and a distinctive “waterfall rock” outlook.

On Zuma Bluffs, 200-plus feet of frontage and a guest residence over a four-car garage underscore the scale of life at the edge.
