Planet of the Apes

Do you remember the scene in the original Planet of the Apes when George Taylor discovers the Statue of Liberty half-buried on a beach, leading him to discover that the planet he was on was actually Earth? Well, you can go visit that spot at one of the California State Beaches in Malibu, called Point Dume. Although you’re going to have to imagine the Statue of Liberty being there, this particular area was a well-kept secret until recently, when fans put 2 and 2 together and started visiting this site regularly for photographs.
