Point Dume is a majestic headland that juts out onto the Pacific Ocean, with a boardwalk and viewing point that offers splendid views of Santa Monica Bay. It’s a short hike from the parking lot to the white sand. Unwind and watch thrillseekers rock climb and repel off the cliffs that tower over the beach. Hit the trails and make your way up yourself. The cliffs offer spectacular 360-degree views and are a great place to catch a glimpse of grey whales on their migration between December and April. You’ll also have a chance to spot birds, dolphins, and seals on this easy hike. – Tripadvisor
