By LOUISE TUTELIAN Published: June 21, 2009 What 19s so appealing about Malibu 19s little slice of coast? Visit Point Dume State Preserve (Birdview Avenue and Cliffside Drive; 818-880-0363; www.parks.ca.gov), and you 19ll see. A modest walk to the top of this coastal bluff rewards you with a sweeping view of the entire Santa Monica Bay, the inland Santa Monica Mountains and, on a clear day, Catalina Island. A boardwalk just below the summit leads to a platform for watching swooping pelicans and crashing waves. To feel the sand between your toes, drive down Birdview Avenue to Westward Beach Road and park at the very end of the lot on your left. You 19ll be looking at Westward Beach, a gem that most visitors miss. Strike a yoga pose. Sigh at will.
