Fun Facts

Westward Beach served as a backdrop for the iconic final scene in the original 1968 film 'Planet of the Apes,' where the Statue of Liberty is discovered buried in the sand.

The beach is known for its dramatic cliffs and rock formations, particularly Point Dume, which provides stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.

Visitors often see dolphins and sea lions, and during migration seasons, gray whales can be spotted from the shore.

The beach is popular among surfers for its consistent waves, especially during the winter months when swells are larger.

Westward Beach offers accessible parking and pathways, making it easier for everyone to enjoy the scenic views and oceanfront.
