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.

Jeff, if beachiness wasn't a word, it is now! And it's the perfect description!
Jeff Cardiff sounds like a terrific place to live if you love the water. That building so reminded me of other place near the beach.
CBS, Cardiff By The Sea. I thought Dan Rather was setting up new shop out by the beach. Jeff, I love the color on that wall. Renting a board is great. Many places don't do that. You should take up surfing Jeff. I want pictures.
Beachiness put it in the dictionary, the word alone makes me want to come and check out this town
I love the murals! We have a bunch of surf towns (obviously lol) and wonderful colors depicting the theme of each.
I can just see you surfing. Strapped to the board lol!
I'd like a little town like this with Cowboys and horses all over the walls!
Jeff, Cardiff by the Sea looks very inviting. You find the most interesting places to bring to our attention. For the surfer or those who enjoy watching surfing this sounds like a great place to buy.
I love it when I see murals on buildings. We have some cool ones too. I'll share =)
I hope I didn't hijack your post.... =/ Just sharing. =)
Jeff -first thing I thought of when looking at the photos (very cool by the way) was that this is some surfing little corner of the world
