WELCOME TO CARDIFF BY THE SEA

Enchanting luxury beachfront living within an enclave of Encinitas.

Typically abbreviated to Cardiff, the San Diego County community of Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a refined beachfront community known for its exceptional surfing spots and its laid-back yet luxurious Californian coastal lifestyle.
