The Humboldt Coastal Nature Center looks like a bunker from an episode of Lost. Built into a sand dune, the arched, living roof-covered structure fronts 113 acres of coastal wildland stretching down the narrow Samoa Epninsula. Inside the center, check out displays on dune restoration, or pick up a map for a self-gided trek past native wildflowers and blackberries on your way to where the dunes smooth out and the breakers crash.
