Our Projects
The Cardiff-by-the-Sea Foundation (CBSF) was incorporated in July 2016 to provide funding for community improvements. Projects and activities are coordinated with Cardiff 101, a separate community organization. Cardiff 101’s mission is “to provide attractive entrances into Cardiff-by-the-Sea, to secure a safe and healthy environment, and to promote a walkable community that provides goods and services for residents and visitors alike.”
Cardiff Kook Accessible Pathway
The Foundation seeks to work with public agencies to create and maintain a durable accessible pedestrian pathway from the Kook intersection to the San Elijo State Beach entry.
HSP Surfer Monument
Cardiff-By-The-Sea has a long and colorful history as a worldwide hub for surfboard shapers, those individuals who design and build surfboards. This project will be a monument and recognition of the craft, as well as noteworthy shapers over the decades.
Harbaugh Seaside Parkway
2017 marked the origination of CBSF activity, when the George and Betty Harbaugh Charitable Foundation confirmed a multi-year grant to beautify the former Carpenteria Parkway, now named the Harbaugh Seaside Parkway. The landscaped walkway extends along the southern end of the Cardiff Rail Trail near busy San Elijo Avenue and is maintained by the City of Encinitas, featuring native plants and interpretive signs.
