The Getty Villa houses ancient treasures in a setting so Mediterranean you'll forget you're in California. Hike through wildflowers in the Santa Monica Mountains, where trails reveal panoramic ocean views worth every drop of sweat. At Paradise Cove, toes-in-the-sand dining elevates the simple fish taco to transcendent experience. Point Dume offers dramatic cliff-top vistas where, between December and May, migrating grey whales pass remarkably close to shore.
