Jon Levine of the Washington Free Beacon reports on Kamala Harris’ exclusive new neighborhood on the California coast.
Kamala Harris’s new Malibu estate makes the former vice president the member of an exclusive seaside community, Point Dume, that’s long been accused of “hostility” to people of color. And as a high-profile homeowner, she’s also believed to have coveted access to a beach that’s supposed to be public, but whose overwhelmingly white gatekeepers controversially block access to the rest of the community.
The secluded beach, known as Little Dume, is one of the most beautiful on the California coast. While all California beaches are legally public below the high-tide line, it is almost impossible to reach Little Dume without the means—either with a key or with the consent of a homeowner with a key—to pass through one of three private gates, two of which reportedly use facial recognition technology to keep out the riffraff.
The beach is as “close to a private beach as you can find in California. Some folks even buy homes just to get the key, and leave the places empty,” Page Six Hollywood wrote last month.
Harris—who is half black and has spent her career fighting racial segregation and discrimination in housing—plonked down $8.15 million on a four-bedroom, six-bathroom, 4,000-square-foot Malibu estate in a sale that closed in December 2025, according to multiple media reports. She bought the house with her husband, corporate lawyer Doug Emhoff, who has adult children from a previous marriage. …
… In choosing Malibu, Harris has moved to a town packed with ultra-rich Democratic donors, many of whom are accused of restricting access to various Malibu beaches. Harris’s new digs is just a short ride from Malibu’s own “Billionaires Row”—where billionaire David Geffen’s palatial property sold in 2017 for $85 million.
