Point Dume State Beach Details
Although it is only 63-acres in size, this state beach has a wild mix of rocky cliffs, coastal bluffs, rolling grasslands, and golden sand beaches. Most people come to trek the two miles of scenic trails or to visit the Point Dume Nature Preserve, which takes up roughly half of the beach. Here, you'll find marine-rich tide pools, budding flower fields, and dozens of animals, including brown pelicans, burrowing owls, ground squirrels, and silvery legless lizards. Off the coast, you might also spot California gray whales, who migrate here between December and April. If you come later in the season, you can see newborn calves jumping through the waves.
