Perhaps most known for its popular surf spot Cardiff Reef ("The Reef"), the lifestyle in Cardiff By The Sea certainly revolves around the water, and it continues to be a favorite beach-going destination for both families and local surfers alike. Its 2-mile stretch of coastline features pristine sandy beaches, impressive cliffs, and even an oceanfront campground that's fun to visit, even for those who already live in the area.
