Point Dume Natural reserve point is worthy of a detour from CA-1. Compared to other lookout points, it's warmer and can catch the California sunshine while facing wind, sea breeze and seeing lots of big waves hitting the rocks below.
At the lookout trail going to the left, you can see the entire Santa Monica. There are a few trails up on the hill but the shortest one is the Poppy trails. The right trails shows the Malibu coast line.
If you park below, it's a 3 miles walk to the top for the peak trail walk. Go earlier in the morning, park right next to the trail and get a early start for a Malibu morning view. There are two exits with the Zuma beach exit sign more obvious. A fun panoramic west coast view stop over!
There is a seafront cafe across from Big Dume beach for a beachfront bite.
