When covered with water-dwelling flowers, California’s iconic coastline looks even more beautiful. As the delicate flowers lead the way to the beach and the rising bluffs, they will glow brightly in the evening sun.

How to get there

N36° 25' 18.6348"W121° 54' 46.2348"
The featured location was taken along Doud Creek in Garrapata State Park. From Highway 101, parking is available along the dirt pullout at Gate 19 for Garrapata State Park, near mile-marker 63. The signs are rather small so pay close attention as you near mile-marker 63. When you arrive, follow the path between the guide ropes and take the right fork, heading north towards the bluff. Continue north and follow the trail down the stairs to Doud Creek, here is where you will find the Calla Lilies. This location is on the eastern end of the valley, near the drainage pipe that flows underneath Highway 101.
