In the near corner, looking fleshy and pale green is iceplant (the alien, brought in to "stabilize" sand dunes it often does more harm than good).  In the far corner, looking a cheerful yellow is Isocoma menziesii (Menzies' goldenbush) 
I camped at Pt Mugu Beach State Park this last weekend.  It was a rare opportunity to camp right on the sand, 10' from the high water mark.  The weekend was full of photos, but this was the only plant photo that I took.  ID of Goldenbush is based on a Claflora search - this particular example seems more prostrate than online descriptions state, perhaps due to competition from the iceplant.
