Cardiff By The Sea Beach T-Shirt (Unisex)

A classic coastal tee with a clean, minimal layout and simple bold illustration of palm trees, a lifeguard tower and a bright sun sitting over the ocean. The scene depicted is of Cardiff. Not the one we all know and love - the one with the big stadium and the statue of Anueirn Bevan that's perpetually covered in bird faeces. No this design depicts Cardiff-by-the-Sea in Encinitas, California. It's a small coastal community just north of San Diego, known for its surf spots, easygoing atmosphere and long stretches of Pacific coastline. The area was developed in the early 20th century, and was named after Cardiff in Wales by the wife of its founder - J. Frank Cullen, who grew up in Caerdydd (not sure where exactly, let's just say it was Roath). Many of the surrounding streets in Cardiff-by-the-sea were also given British names, although none of them are Welsh names so marks down for that Mrs Cullen. A bright, easygoing design that blends Welsh identity with West Coast sunshine.
