Cardiff by the Sea, California, is a luxurious and comfortable beach community resting between Encinitas and Solana Beach in San Diego County. Over eighty years ago, this farming community in the hills north of the San Elijo Lagoon began to take root and grow as visionary real estate developer J. Frank Cullen built his community of new and enviable homes. Many streets in Cardiff bear names this English-born landowner grew up with in his native town of Cardiff, Wales, including Birmingham, Oxford, Chesterfield, and Manchester.

With the Pacific Ocean at its western edge, Cardiff By the Sea is regarded as part of the City of Encinitas lying to the north, though the charming community's nearly 12,000 residents consider their hometown a separate entity. Locals understandably enjoy the small town atmosphere Cardiff offers and many prefer to keep it that way. The moderate climate, two miles of wild Pacific coastline, and world-class surf draw surfing pros and wannabes from all over the world.

Located 25 miles north of California's second largest city, San Diego, many Cardiff By the Sea residents live on lush hillsides with gorgeous ocean views, but are still an easy commute from downtown San Diego via Interstates 5 and 805.
