  Surfline | Calafia
Calafia is a damn romantic place, named after a mythical Queen of an island called California.
Calafia the surf spot is almost as mythical as the place itself -- which is to say it's not the most consistent break in the world.
The Hotel Calafia (877-700-2093; $45-$150/night) is a beautifully funky, rambling old place, overlooking the reefbreak, complete with a little museum/art gallery and dozens of nooks and crannies and terraces to escape to.

 Calafia, Queen of the Baja.

Friday is "date night" with my primary partner, but we sometimes spend it at the dog park, or at dinner, or watching a movie at home, and it's flexible.
calafia: I'm torn between actually dating someone new and staying in my quiet little happy life as is. (I think that, ultimately, I have energy for something quiet, low-key, and local.
Though I'm not actively looking for a relationship or dating partner, I'm not *not* looking, but I almost never consider dating someone who lives more than an hour by car from me. This could be different if we had a mutual friend and could somehow form a friendship first, without intention.

Equipping a fleet, Calafia had sailed to Constantinople to join the other great captains of the world in the siege against the Turks.
By the end of the story, Queen Calafia and the Californians have become Christians (which involved, one surmises, giving up their promiscuous ways and the feeding of their male offspring to their griffins), and Calafia herself marries one of Esplandián’s trusted lieutenants, with whom she goes on to further adventures.

Santa Barbara, Calif. – The Ice Age island Isla Calafia, named for a beautiful mythical warrior queen, was only recently discovered in the Santa Barbara Channel.
The island, believed to have been submerged for more than 13,000 years, lies under 300 feet of water and rises about 660 feet off the bottom of the Santa Barbara Channel.
Using high-resolution topographic maps of the channel floor, Keller discovered that Calafia is not only bordered by two major earthquake faults – one capable of producing a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and a tsunami – but also is located near pockets of natural gas that, were they to burst, could cause potential harm to passing ships.
