Things to do in Cardiff-by-the-Sea

Make sure you look into Cardiff-by-the-Sea hotels, so you have easy access to the beach. Cardiff State Beach is particularly popular. On any given day, surfers in wetsuits dot the distant waters, showing off their tricks. Now is the perfect time to snag a surf lesson to get up to speed. If you can’t stay on a surfboard to save your life, then try something you’re sure to be great at—snoozing on the sand!

For something slightly more active than a beach nap, make your way to the San Elijo Lagoon, a 1000-acre ecological preserve. The lagoon gives you seven miles of trails to explore and some beautiful birds to gaze at, like herons, coots and egrets.

After your hike, you deserve a treat! Kilometres of restaurants, casual bars and colourful surf shops like the scenic Highway 101. Don’t worry about finding the best lunch spot or nightcap. Cardiff-by-the-Sea is all about going with the flow!
