Cardiff, located between Encinitas Boulevard and Solana Beach, is a coastal and residential Encinitas neighborhood with ocean-view bluffs and a surf-forward main drag. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along San Elijo Avenue near Birmingham Drive, where sidewalk patios, coffee counters, and small boutiques meet the salt-air pace. Low-slung beach cottages mix with Spanish-style homes and newer contemporary builds stepping up the hillsides. Cardiff State Beach and Seaside Reef set the daily rhythm with sand, tidepools, and longboard lines. The Cardiff Kook statue adds a wink of local lore along the coastal corridor. Community pillars include Seaside Market, VG Donut & Bakery, and the Cardiff Farmers Market.
