Point Dume in Malibu, California, is a breathtaking coastal gem offering stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.

Point Dume Malibu Park is absolutely breathtaking! As someone who recently moved from Chicago to LA, I was blown away by the natural beauty of this place. It was my first park visit since the move, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean are simply stunning, and the hiking trails offer incredible views. I couldn't believe how clear the water was, and the beaches were pristine. What's really cool is that while I was there, I actually saw Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers riding his bike! It was such a random and awesome LA moment. I highly recommend Point Dume Malibu Park to anyone looking for a peaceful escape with incredible scenery. It's the perfect place to go for a hike or just relax and enjoy the beauty of California.

The best sunset place! If you want to see the sunset. After 4 PM, the parking fee is 3$. Then you can take the boardwalk to climb to the Point Dume. We enjoyed the magnificent while waiting for the sunset.

I absolutely loved Point Dume. It was an absolutely incredible park with pretty easy trails. The views are absolutely incredible and a summer sunset here is such an incredible view. The stairs down to the beach are gorgeous but beware of how steep they are and the tide schedule. Parking is a pain in the butt with a tiny two hour parking spot for visitors. Other visitors must park in the nearby neighborhood, but beware of the no parking signs at the risk of being towed.

What’s a wonderful place. That was my first time in Malibu and might be the most memorable sunset moment so far. Facing the Pacific Ocean and enjoying the golden hour, perfect for a relaxing weekend. You should bring some snacks for chilling after climbing up to the spot. I heard the gatekeeper said it’s 15$ for parking after 6pm. Best sunset ever

Amazing place to visit. Definitely would recommend it. Just a little hike and you would get beautiful pictures off of it. Although I would recommend to drive down to the Point Dume Beach and hike up the cliff there. It's the same point but you would get parking and an amazing view.

Point Dume is easily my favorite spot in Malibu. The views are simply breathtaking, offering a panoramic glimpse of the Pacific that never gets old. The trail is perfect for anyone looking for a leisurely hike- it’s not too difficult, making it accessible for all skill levels. The natural beauty surrounding the area is incredible, with lush vegetation, wildflowers, and the occasional sighting of wildlife. Whether you’re there for a peaceful walk, stunning photography, or just to soak in the tranquility of the ocean, Point Dume is truly a gem. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Malibu!

Beautiful hike with numerous places to stop and soak in the views. There is free parking at the top but that lot is almost always full. Down by the beach was 8 dollars per car and that lot has plenty of parking. I felt it was 100 percent worth the fee.
