The Malibu coast is covered in gold these days as the giant coreopsis, our somewhat weird and completely wonderful coastal native wakes from its yearly sleep.

The headlands at Point Dume has the greatest concentration of plants, but be warned, there's hardly any (legal) parking.

If you do go, please (oh please) stay on the paths.

The headlands is a fragile and precious ecosystem and every step on the landscape does damage.
