  Come with us and stay cool along the beach and bluff of Point Dume State Beach and Natural Preserve.

  Our hike will take us along the shore up to the bluff above Point Dume. The trail is wide and sandy, but has some steep and rocky sections. The hike is approximately 3.4 miles round trip with a 374 feet of elevation gain (and then loss). Views of the Pacific, Malibu, all the way to Catalina and Santa Monica. There is also a side trail and stairway down to the tide pools for a closer view of the sealife.

  There will be little to no shade on this hike so be sure to wear the appropriate clothing and bring enough water. Temperature is expected to be in the mid-70’s to mid-80’s and could be sea breezy. Bring a hat, water and a snack.

  Sadly, since this is a state park, no dogs are allowed.

  There are no public phones or restrooms at the Preserve. Restrooms can be found on Westward Beach Road and in the parking area. Park hours are sunrise to sunset.

  Address:  7401 Birdview Ave, Malibu, CA 90265 

  Parking:  Westward Beach Road. (Take Cliffside Drive to Birdview Avenue, and park free along Westward Beach Road, or pay a fee at Westward Beach lot.) Or park at Zuma Beach county park for a bit further walk along the coast.

  Directions: 

  From the I-10 west Take PCH from Santa Monica north through Malibu, past Kanan Dume road to the Westward Beach exit just north after passing around the Point Dume.

  Please join us virtually for an upcoming University of California Retirement Plan (UCRP) Program Overview designed to help employees better understand the retirement benefits available through the UC system. This session will provide a high-level introduction to the University of California Retirement Plan, the University’s pension program that provides eligible employees with a lifetime retirement benefit.

  During this informational session, participants will learn about how UCRP works, including eligibility requirements, vesting, and how retirement benefits are calculated based on factors such as age, years of service credit, and highest average plan compensation. The session will also cover key features of the plan, including retirement income, survivor and disability benefits, and cost-of-living adjustments.

  In addition, attendees will receive a brief overview of voluntary savings options available to UC employees that can help supplement retirement income.

  Whether you are new to UC or planning ahead for the future, this session is a great opportunity to learn more about how your UC benefits can support your long-term financial goals.

  All employees are encouraged to attend. Additional details, including date, time, and registration information, will be shared soon.

  Our speaker, Camille Carr, is one of two UCLA Retirement Counselors at the Benefits office from UCLA Campus Human Resources. She has over 25 years of experience in benefits and retirement counseling for campus staff. She assists campus employees whose last names begin A – K.
