Point Dume Adventure Session
the best view in Malibu: Point Dume
It’s no secret that Malibu has some of the best Southern California views around. Despite having global recognition as a surf spot and celebrity paradise, somehow Malibu still has a “small-town” feel. Longtime residents know about all the hidden gems. Tourists and locals both crowd places like Malibu Pier and Nobu Sushi, but a short 20-minute drive (about 9 miles) up highway 1 and you’ll find one of these gems - Point Dume. If you’re looking for an adventurous coastal spot to take your engagement photos - or even elope - consider Point Dume!
Named in honor of Padre Francisco Dumetz in 1793, this spot’s known for easy, scenic hikes on the beach and wildlife watching. You can spot seals, dolphins, sea lions, and even whales in the water! In the Spring this area is sometimes covered in wildflowers too. No wonder Jason took Jessica here for their first date! I loved going back to this incredible spot for their photoshoot; it’s an epic location and knowing they had such a sweet personal connection there made it all the more fun.
