C A R D I F F - B Y - T H E - S E A Cardiff had an early start and a fascinating history. Streets were named after the British Isles, followed by more streets named after classical music composers. Cardiff, was located on a beautiful part of the California coastline. One of its first settlers erected a two-story building reminiscent of a Victorian English seaside manor. The building provided an artists’ studio on the second floor. During that same year “by-the-Sea” was added to its name. Remnants of Cardiff’s only industry can still be seen during low tide where a kelp processing plant operated. The pier, which was built near the mouth of the lagoon, has long since washed away. The main cement floor of Cardiff’s one and only train station is all that remains of the mission style depot. Restaurant Row was known to host many a celebrity traveling back and forth from Hollywood to Del Mar and Mexico. Japanese farmers’ crops covered the hills just east of town. The San Elijo lagoon was slowly choking. The mouth was opened occasionally by a farmer with a plow. Cardiff-by-the-Sea later changed to a new personality - surfing. It is where Don Hansen opened his first shop; where “the kook” put Cardiff-by-the-Sea on the international map; where surfing contests and beach fairs rocked the coast. Double tracking, the lagoon improvements, Harbaugh Trails and the Living Shoreline Project may have changed the scene, but not the heart: the pull is real and it is the soul of Cardiff-by-the-Sea. G Above: Cardiff-by-the-Sea looking north toward Swamis Point. A typical beautiful summer day looking north along the Cardiff coastline.

Many of his murals can be seen throughout Encinitas and San Diego County. 8 4 F E N C I N I T A S : O u r H i s t o r y a n d P e o p l e
