Cardiff State Beach

Beach · Encinitas

"This state beach is known for some of the best surfing in San Diego, and the laid-back crowd that comes with it. On the north end, Cardiff Reef is where pro surfer Rob Machado and other locals catch their waves. A few steps away, Pacific Coast Grill offers two levels of ocean views and tasty fish tacos. Visit the tide pools at low tide to see hermit crabs, sea snails, and other sea creatures." - Marie Tutko, Archana Ram
