Casual outdoor shopping and dining center attracts a mix of both locals grabbing lunch in wetsuits, celebrities pretending they don’t want to be seen and tourists strolling through after a day at the beach. Restaurants range from take-away sandwich shops to upscale eateries.
One of the most iconic scenes in film history—Taylor and Nova coming upon the Statue of Liberty at the end of Planet of the Apes—was filmed at Point Dume. It’s a point that juts into the Pacific with a dramatic cliff’s edge that drops down to a beautiful crescent-shaped beach. A perfect spot for a beach day!
