Zuma Beach

My beautiful friend Farrah drove up to visit me yesterday - after she patiently tagged along with me on my errands for over an hour (which was incredibly nice), we had a late lunch (so please excuse my food baby in these photos, I'm bloated as heck) and decided to drive up to Malibu.  As was to be expected, the traffic was mildly horrendous; but it was definitely worth it.  Honestly, I loved the drive - the cliffs and green hills covered in a dense marine layer reminded me of my favorite spot in San Diego and growing up less than a mile from the shore in Huntington Beach.  We decided on Zuma, and I adored everything about it - I will most certainly be back soon.

I was super in love with the marine layer

so many shades of blue

my bestie is gorgeous

the ocean was sparkling and shimmering

pretty much every picture Farrah took of me was with me caught in mid-laugh

the drive home

a beach umbrella to mark our spot

I adore watching people flying kites

Farrah's got some jumping skills

I love how short the beach is, water line is so close (photo by Farrah Chini)

the sun beginning to set

bumper to bumper on the 1 isn't bad with a view of the shore
