Point Dume

"A relatively flat circular route around the tip of Point Dume, an ocean outcropping marking the middle of Malibu. Parking can be a challenge, with only 6 spots dedicated to this whole hiking area. You may have to wait for another walker to return before being able to secure a spot. Scenic panoramic views of the ocean and flanking cliffs can be had during this whole 1.1 mile out-and-back hike, which begins on soft sandy terrain that may be difficult for those with mobility issues. Listen for barking sea lions sunbathing on the rocks far before and you're sure to see a flock of pelican fly by at some point during this half hour walk. The coolest part of this trail lies toward the Zuma beach side, where a precarious path on a rocky peninsula jutting out from the main mountain allows you to get even closer to the ocean. From a distance it looks quite dangerous, but once you get up close you'll find the path is much larger and flatter than it seems, allowing you to easily walk out to the tip without having to do any kind of scrambling.
