This beach is actually just south (east?) of Zuma Beach and Westward Beach. Big rock at the end marks Point Dume. Westward Road deadends into the parking lot.

BEAUTIFUL AND SECLUDED. This place is so relaxing, and not as crowded as the other parts of Malibu. This is a place to go to get away from people watching and crowds. some people like to be around people, but if you want to be away from all that, Point Dume is the place to go. I LOVE IT!!!! more
