Point Dume

An oceanside paradise, Point Dume resides on a quaint peninsula in the Malibu area.

Welcome to Point Dume

An affluent, peaceful beachside haven home to miles of coastline and incredible canyons

An oceanside paradise, Point Dume resides on a quaint peninsula in the Malibu area. Locals enjoy rugged cliffside views and impressive stretches of white sand beaches while experiencing the luxury of a relaxed, secluded lifestyle. With breathtaking oceanic vistas and an addicting beachy vibe, every day feels like a vacation when you're living in this beautiful town.

Spanish explorer Cabrillo first discovered Point Dume on his way up the coast in 1542, although it didn't get its name until 1793. More than two centuries after being founded, George Vancouver decided to name the unnamed plot of land Point Dumetz after his friend, Father Francisco Dumetz. In 1940, construction shaved down the top of the peninsula to create a town, and the name became Point Dume.

Today, modern Point Dume comprises over 600 homes, condominiums, and apartments in a wide range of styles, ranging from luxury estates to modest beachfront homes. As one of Malibu's most exclusive neighborhoods, Point Dume homes rarely come cheap, with the majority of homes ranging from between $695,000 to multimillion-dollar estates.

Things to Do

Pointe Dume's main attraction is its landscape. Locals and vacationers alike flock to the beautiful beaches and canyons in the area. The dome-shaped promontory juts into the crystal-blue Pacific, providing the perfect backdrop for hikes through the bluffs, which leads to two scenic overlooks. Depending on the season, Point Dume Natural Preserve is a photographic spot to watch the whales migrate along the coast.

Zuma Beach is a local favorite for beach bums and athletes. Spend a day relaxing on the warm sand or hit the waves at one of the county’s largest and most popular beaches. Known for its excellent surf swells and wide sands, Zuma is consistently ranked as one of the healthiest beaches in the state.
Zuma's popularity has stretched into Hollywood, too, as it is a popular spot for filmmakers, and you might have seen it represented on-screen in movies like Planet of the Apes or the long-running television series Baywatch.
