The 9 foot (2.70 meter) tall statue, featuring Hitchcock with his hands on his hips, is a popular photo spot and a symbol of the town's cinematic heritage, with some even linking the area's mansions to inspiration for Psycho. <p> Hours of operation: Monday through Sunday 24 hours. <p> Admission: Free admission. <br> Public parking is available above the beach area. <p> <b>Machine 1</b> is outside a short distance from the statue in front of the restrooms / underground passage.
