Cardiff State Beach - Beach in Encinitas - , USA

It's a wonderful beach to relax and enjoy nature. The sandy shoreline is perfect for walks, sunbathing, and even quiet activities like reading or doing meditation. Some folks even have parties here, and it's a good spot for taking photos. Although, parking slots are paid.

Came here to view the sunset. It was clean and beautiful. Despite being a dog park (which can seem a little gross at times) the beach is clean and well maintained. Parking wasn’t a pain to find, but I did come at around 7. Street parking is free, the parking lot is paid.

Cardiff State Beach is very clean. You do have to pay for parking. The beach is perfect for walking and people do surf the waves here. I did see people walking with there dogs. It was a pretty busy beach.

Gorgeous beach. Come during sunset and walk around

Beautiful place with very close parking

I love this beach. It's has a mellow vibe. I can walk my dog. And its steps from my current pad. Plenty of activity...but always chill.

Fantastic beach in the area that I definitely recommend checking out. Will not be disappointed!

Very beautiful beach. I had the opportunity to get here early before it got too busy. The beach is very clean and there wasn't much ocean debris. This is definitely a very family friendly beach which is nice but a bit of a drawback. There were a lot of kids which translates to a lot of yelling and shrieking. If you want a calmer more relaxing beach, try Blacks Beach
