hii sir, we planed a tour for the Point Dume beach Malibu, will you please provide me some basic information about this Point Dume beach Malibu?

[Raman Vij]

As you asking for the Point Dum beach Malibu let me tell you that oint Dume is a promontory on the coast of Malibu, California that juts out into the Pacific Ocean. The point, a long bluff, forms the northern end of the Santa Monica Bay. Point Dume Headlands Park affords a vista of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and Santa Catalina Island. Zuma Beach lies to its immediate northwest.

History :
Point Dume was named by George Vancouver in 1793 in honor of Padre Francisco Dumetz of Mission San Buenaventura
The name was misspelled on Vancouver's map as "Dume" and was never correctedIn the early 1980s, real estate development interests began pronouncing the name "du-MAY" and spelling it "Dumé"; this did not catch on.


Location :
Getting to Point Dume could not be easier. It is located about a 2 miles off of Pacific Coast Highway right on a scenic stretch of road about 20 minutes North-West of Malibu


Some reviews of this place:

pretty short (but fairly steep at the beginning) hike will take you to some beautiful views. It is sandy and rocky in places so consider that when choosing footwear. I can see that in peak season this place would be packed, but I easily scored free street parking (in fact the closest possible parking spot before the paid area)...


“Awesome hike!”

My husband and I did this hike back in October. The views in the morning were amazing and the day we visited the waves were huge. We could have sat for hours watching the waves crash.

“beautiful rocks, simple tide-pool”

Famous for being the beach where they shot the last scene in the original "Planet of the Apes" but it is now really rocky-- rocks ARE beautiful. Tide pooling is a little challenging and not as good as other places. Still good to visit.
