Cardiff Kook Statue
Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA
By Simir Shah
A bronze surfer on Coast Highway that locals have been unofficially costuming for years — dinosaurs, holiday outfits, whatever's current. It's a two-minute photo stop, not a destination; pull into the small lot on the east side rather than stopping on the shoulder.
