In 1976, Disney filmed parts of Pete's Dragon on the Point Buchon Trail. Pete's Dragon starred Mickey Rooney, Helen Reddy, Shelly Winters, Sean Marshall, James Dale, and a giant animated dragon. During production, Disney built a lighthouse on a rocky outpost in Moñtana de Oro State Park. The light from the fake lighthouse was so bright, the production had to get special permission from the U.S. Coast Guard Station Morro Bay to use the beacon during filming. Once production had wrapped, hopes of saving the structure or re-locating it to Disneyland faded as the building had deteriorated and had to be dismantled. However, hikers can still enjoy the spectacular scenery by visiting the Point Buchon Trail, which is owned by Pacific Gas and Electric Company and open Th-M year-round.

Point Buchon Trail offers some of the most scenic views of the Central Coast coastline, preserved and protected with help from PG&E. The trail is 6.6 miles roundtrip and is accessed through Montaña de Oro State Park.
