Cardiff by the Sea Beaches

Cardiff-by-the-Sea State Beach is one of the most interesting and quirky state beaches. Located just west of the 101 pacific highway, you can stop by here and enjoy the sun and the surf with your family, and even your (leashed) dog! Cardiff State Beach is a gently sloping sandy beach with warm water. In the water you will likely see many swimmers and boogie boarders, as well as surfers. Many locals come here as well as people on vacation, because this beautiful panoramic beach is popular year-round.

“James, A big thanks to you for all your hard work and success with Cottage and Lapis.  Lapis was a struggle with the lender but it would have been a lot harder on us if Cottage didn’t go as smoothly as it did.  I brag to all our friends/family that we put the house on the market on a Friday, open house that Sunday, and under contract Tuesday.  That’s why you’re the best in the biz and we are very grateful for your services, advice, attention to detail, and prompt follow-up.”
