Cardiff-by-the-Sea Beaches, Park & Recreation
Cardiff is a very active outdoor community and has some of the finest beaches, parks and recreational facilities in all of California.
Cardiff Beaches
Some of the best surfing beaches in San Diego and Southern California:
• Pipes, is a fun peaky surf break north of the campground, popular with swimmers, sunbathers and surfers alike.
• San Elijo, the beach in front of the campground is great for families.
• Cardiff Reef, a pleasant little beach park and surf spot on the south end of the campground where the cliffs end.
• George’s is a popular spot, located just south from the San Elijo Lagoon river mouth, also known as “Restaurant Row.” Restaurants like Chart House, Pacific Grill and the Beach House are located right above the beach on Highway 101.
