The "Ten Commandments" was filmed in Guadalupe, and it was the largest movie set in the world. When filming was completed, the set was left and buried in the sands.
In the century since its release in 1923, Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments” has had much influence over modern cinematography and the local community, as it was shot in the Dunes of Guadalupe.
Beneath the sands of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Complex lie many things. From geomorphic rock compacted from years of pressure to lost jewelry, the dunes have.
