Topanga is bounded on three sides by State Park or conservancy lands, and on the south by the Pacific Ocean and a small strip of Malibu, which is the main community to the west. On the east is Pacific Palisades. Topanga had a population of 8,289 as of 2010. The ZIP code is 90290 and the area code is primarily 310, with 818 only at the north end of the canyon.

Topanga Canyon

Topanga Creek drains Topanga Canyon and is the third largest watershed entering the Santa Monica Bay. The creek is one of the few remaining undammed waterways in the area, and is a spawning ground for steelhead trout. The area typically receives about 22" of rain annually. Topanga Beach lies on the coast at the outlet of Topanga Creek. Topanga Canyon Boulevard, State Route 27, is the principal thoroughfare, connecting the Ventura Freeway (US 101) with Pacific Coast Highway (SR 1). The southern portion of the boulevard largely follows Topanga Creek. North of the Old Topanga Canyon Road intersection, the boulevard traverses the Santa Monica Mountains.

    Were Going Nowhere

    by: Topanga

    the day that i goi know you wont be there
    even though you said
    you were going
    its time we faced it
    this is going nowhere
    our relationship is
    down the drain
    I DONT KNOW THAT
    YOU DONT KNOW THAT
    WERE GOING NOWHERE
    BUT SOMETIMES THE BEST THING
    IS RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE
    I THINK A COUPLE MONTHS APART
    WOULD DO US BOTH WELL
    EVEN THOUGH ITS BREAKING
    YOUR HEART
    i know where you are
    emotionally - ive been there
    i know how it feels to be
    on your side
    i know you know all about
    the love we had
    you know what - this isnt
