Point Dume State Beach
The neighborhood takes its name from the headland and state beach at its southern edge, with bluff-top trails and tide pools.
Zuma Beach Access
Zuma Beach, one of the largest and most popular beaches in Los Angeles County, sits just north of the point.
Larger Lots
Point Dume's residential streets generally have larger lots and more separation between homes than Malibu's coastal stretch closer to the pier.
Ocean and Headland Views
The bluff setting gives many properties direct ocean views or views across to the Point Dume headland itself.
Distance from Central Malibu
Point Dume sits several miles from Malibu's civic center and pier, so daily errands generally mean a drive along PCH.
Renter Tips for Point Dume, Malibu
Point Dume trades proximity to Malibu's restaurants and shops for space, quiet, and beach access — expect a car-dependent lifestyle here more than anywhere else in Malibu. Inventory is dominated by single-family homes rather than apartment buildings, so availability is generally lower and more seasonal than in denser coastal cities.
