) coast is a secretive place. Get to know it like the locals do, especially
if you want to find hidden hot springs and beaches where the sand is tinged purple
or where giant jade has washed up. Time your visit for May, when waterfalls peak,
or after summer vacation crowds have left but sunny skies still rule. Crane your
neck skyward to catch sight of endangered California condors taking wing above
ocean cliffs.
