With a population of under 12,000, Cardiff-by-the-Sea operates as part of the city of Encinitas, but unlike the other communities that comprise Encinitas, has its own ZIP code (92007). Cardiff is home to a few well-known surf spots, such as Swami's and Cardiff Reef. The Cardiff Composer District includes twelve streets named for musicians. Home to the “Cardiff Kook”, the Magic Carpet Ride is the official name of a 6-foot high bronze sculpture that is mounted seaside on the coast at the entry into Cardiff.
