SS Dominator Shipwreck

This Greek freighter ran aground in 1961 after getting lost in thick fog. Large, oxidizing pieces of the ship are still stranded on the rocky shore. Treasure hunting would be a fruitless endeavor; the ship was carrying wheat and beef. To see the remains, we recommend taking the 2.5-mile round-trip Drain Pipe Trail. The trail entrance is located to the right of the home at 1801 Paseo Del Mar, PVE. Carefully walk down the large drain pipe or the cement-covered cliff and take a left when you reach the rocky shore. You will walk about a mile along a very narrow and rocky strip of beach that can be fly-ridden during warmer months until you reach the wreckage. For this excursion, put on pants and hiking boots and leave the dog at home.
