Point Mugu is an Unincorporated community and
geographical promontory on the Pacific coast in Ventura County, near the town
of Port Hueneme and the city of Oxnard. It is home to Point Mugu State Park,
which boasts five miles of shoreline and more than 70 miles of hiking trails. The name is believed to be derived from the Chumash
Indian term Muwu, meaning beach, which was first mentioned by Cabrillo in his
journals in 1542. The Mugu Rock
is a distinctive feature of the coastal headland promontory that has been
featured in many film shoots and television commercials. The Rock was formed
when a path for the Pacific Coast Highway was cut through the mountain. It
marks a western end of the Santa Monica Mountains, and the old Rancho
Guadalasca boundary. It is a popular but dangerous place for fishing,
sightseeing, cliff diving, and rock climbing up the sheer sides of the rock
itself. Source
