El Cardonal is envisioned as a resort community based on an active recreational lifestyle that is focused on oceanfront activities, including a marina, and set within a landscape context of productive agriculture and a strong visual landscape. The resort community will offer a broad array of residential products; recreational amenities; and commercial, lodging, and restaurant facilities focused within an oceanfront village.
The vision of El Cardonal is aimed at providing recreation and leisure activities to foster year-around use and occupancy. While the marina and its associated boating will be the hallmark amenity and signature piece of the community, there are other complementary and important amenities such a golf, equestrian, spa, fitness, conference, and cultural facilities that will extend the seasonal use of homes and appeal to a broader range of owners, family members, and guests.
