Cardiff by the Sea

Today's mission: Cardiff by the Sea. It's a enclave of 12,000, part of the city of Encinitas. About 30min north of where I live.

Cardiff's a town full of modest homes and broken roads. Typical beach town. We had lunch at Las Olas, this place that supposedly created the fish taco. Here it's popular to bring your kids and drink alcohol cleverly disguised by orange juice.

On one side of the restaurant is San Elijo Lagoon, this huge 900 acre estuary. Oh and ya, I got some pple cleaning palm trees, they're showing us how it's done.


Cardiff the beach is right across the restaurant, it's one of many beaches accessible by this road that runs from god knows where down to La Jolla. It's not a very deep beach, rocky and dirty. Nonetheless it's popular because it's a dog beach. We saw dogs of every type everywhere...the most popular being the muscular killer type. The smaller dogs had trouble with the waves. There's also a lot of surfers b/c the water is very churny.


Someone paragliding.
