Cardiff-By-The-Sea Surf Company in Cardiff, California

As many of you likely know, whether you read this blog regularly or not, the Southern California area is known for terrific surfing. Though I am a non-surfer, I know enough to recognize areas like Cardiff, Swami's Beach in Encinitas, and other areas as being top-areas for surfing.

Cardiff (more formally known as Cardiff-by-the-Sea), to me, exudes a sense of beachiness (is that a word?). The beaches are close by (walking distance from many homes) surfers are lined up along the coast road, and the overall feel is of a small seaside town that is struggling to retain the feel of yesteryear, but growing enough to include amenities that will appeal to folks who live here and visit, with retail offerings,.

This building screams "surfer town," doesn't it? There is no doubt about where we are (near the beach) nor what lies within. The artwork outside says it all (well, the signs don't hurt). And it works so well in this eclectic surfing town along the Southern California coastline.

This surf shop has rentals, will sell you a board, and does repairs. All within a couple of blocks of the beach. What a deal.
