Cardiff-by-the-Sea California

Cardiff-by-the-Sea Homes

The definitive Southern California beach-side town of Cardiff by the Sea emanates small-town friendliness and is renowned for its year-round surf and sun. Painter J. Frank Cullen founded this charming “seaside playground” in 1911, and since then it has flourished into the comfortable community that it is today.

The sense of place and purpose is evident, with residents focusing on their community in a number of ways, from keeping historic buildings intact and restored, to keeping things green and eco-friendly. A pedestrian-friendly area, Cardiff by the Sea home owners take pride in the fact that they can quite easily walk from the sandy beach with its tranquil lagoon, to the bustling business district with its unique restaurants, markets and shops.

Located just off Cardiff Reef that draws surfers to its well-known waves and beautiful beach camping, Cardiff by the Sea homes are close to the quaint downtown area that offers the quiet of a village, with casual seaside dining, and easy access to ocean sports aplenty. Go bicycling or hiking on the seaside cliffs, swim in the salty sea, go boating or hang-gliding, play tennis or golf and continually take in breathtaking views of the ocean.  As a city with a rich history in the arts, delving into the arts is quite easy to do. The active art community 101 Artist Colony offers art exhibits educational experiences such as the annual Arts Alive Banner Auction throughout the year.

Residents utilize local resources and keep things natural with an organic community garden, and a number of green awareness events. Enjoy annual events such as the Cardiff Surf Classic and Green Beach Fair, the chili cook-off, the Dog Days of Summer Canine Festival and Contest, and celebrate the holidays with friends in the community at the Kringle Mingle.  Each of the Cardiff by the Sea real estate offers residents access to a great mix of local culture, Southern California sunshine, and seaside fun.
