What’s a Conejo Valley rez going to do! We have almost every nature delight we could want in the Conejo except for the ocean, and, on a beautiful and balmy day like today, that is where I want to be.

No, this is not about the 1956 Vincent Minnelli movie, “Tea and Sympathy,” starring Deborah Kerr. As you may have gathered by the photo to the left, of the line of pelicans flying along just above the ocean and beyond the breakers, this is about the ocean and beach.

The lifeguard stations at Westward Beach in Malibu are sporting a new look. Gone is the solid light blue paint for the structure, including porch and ramp.
