About This City
Founded in 1911 by developer J. Frank Cullen, the community was named in honor of his wife's native Wales and many streets have English names. A later developer, German musician Victor Kramer added the "by-the-Sea".
The community takes pride in its "walkability" with the beach, lagoon, restaurants, markets, post office, library, and other commercial services in easy walking distance to each other.


Cardiff-by-the-Sea, a community within the City of Encinitas,
in the County of San Diego, is located 95 miles south of Los Angeles and 25 miles north of San Diego.
