Point Dume

Point Dume is a stunning promontory on the coast of Malibu that can be seen for miles along the coastline in either direction. Westward and Zuma Beach lie to its immediate northwest. Point Dume’s dazzling beauty comes from the impressive headlands, wide beaches, sea lion colonies, hidden coves, and breathtaking views of the Pacific. With many homes including the coveted beach keys, Point Dume homeowners are said to enjoy the best private beach experience in all of Malibu. Point Dume is a blend of a convenient residential community with lush landscaping, rolling hills, and leafy streets that complete the brilliant tableau of this coveted location. Known as the “Malibu Riviera,” Point Dume boasts truly magnificent bluff top estates with sweeping views and a natural terrain that continues to charm residents. Home for years to Johnny Carson, Anthony Hopkins and the site of Madonna’s and Sean Pean’s nuptials, it is a very special neighborhood.

Drive you golf cart to Point Dume Village, a convenient selection of shops and services that make life’s little errands as breezy as the ocean air. Stop in for lunch at the beloved Lily's, enjoy a casual family dinner at Thaia, or homemade ice cream from Cafe de la Plage. A few miles down the road the rustic-chic Trancas Country Market offers still more upscale boutiques and dining, while Geoffrey's Malibu dazzles with candlelit dinners, globally-inspired cuisine, and breathtaking views. Hike the Point Dume Nature Preserve for an awe-inspiring view of the Santa Monica Mountains, the Malibu coastline, and the expansive Santa Monica Bay. Out there, beyond the waves, you can see Catalina Island and all the way to Palos Verdes, a stunning view known as the Queen’s Necklace. Spring on Point Dume calls for walks on Point Dume State Beach to spot the majestic gray whale migration along the coast of North America. Nearby Zuma Beach invites surfers and swimmers to dive in and ride the waves or simply lounge on the warm sand and take in the California beauty.

Served by the top-ranked Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, Point Dume is also home to Point Dume Marine Science School, one of the highest-rated schools in California.
