Cardiff By The Sea

Cardiff by the Sea is a community of approximately 17,500 residents, located 25 miles north of Downtown San Diego and just west of Interstate 5.

Most of its residents occupy the quaint homes which cover the hillside and offer spectacular views of the Pacific. Visitors enjoy bird watching and hiking along the trails in the San Elijo Lagoon, and running and biking along the beachside highway is popular among both amateur and professional athletes throughout San Diego County.

Cardiff's Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church hosts an elaborate Greek Festival every September.

Named after Cardiff, Wales in 1914, many of the community's street names still reflect the British influence.
