Owen Wilson appears in high spirits as he enjoys a solo hike at Point Dume Beach in Malibu

Owen Wilson has refused to let COVID-19 stop him from getting his nature derived endorphin rush. 

And on Friday afternoon, the 51-year-old actor appeared to be in high spirits as he cheerfully forged his way through the winding trails of Point Dume located in Malibu, CA.

Wilson – who visited Point Dume Beach earlier in the month – lifted his hands in the air and embraced the ocean breeze with a smile.

The Wedding Crashers star sported a navy blue ball cap with a neon orange decal embroidered on the front. 

He wore a weather-appropriate windbreaker layered over a casual blue t-shirt and paired with some loose fitting sweatpants.

Owen could not help but beam as he stood nearly knee deep in wild flowers and brush.

The trail Wilson was walking ‘ascends to the high point above Point Dume, loops around the bluff, and also heads directly to Big Dume Beach,’ according to the official California Beaches website. 

Though Point Dume remains closed to ‘vehicular access,’ visitors, like Owen, are allowed to explore the state beach on foot as long as they ‘maintain a physical distance of 6 feet or more’ and refrain from gatherings.

California’s ‘Stay At Home’ order has been extended until July, but restrictions on businesses and public spaces have slowly begun to relax.
