Situated on the craggy shore of the Pacific Ocean and rated as one of the top ten destination spots in the United States by Conde Nast Traveler, Carmel, California is a one-of-a-kind enchanted village. Standing on the rocky cliffs overlooking the crashing waves, one might imagine themselves on the moors in “Wuthering Heights” or the white cliffs of Dover. But it is not just the magnificent vistas and cool ocean breezes that set this town apart from the rest. With its renowned artistic community, Bohemian lifestyle, award-winning restaurants and resorts and one of the finest stretches of white-sand beaches on the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel-by-the Sea has something for everyone. Set among a string of other gems like Big Sur, Salinas and Monterey, Carmel is the crowning jewel of the Northern California coast.
Carmel, whose former Mayor Clint Eastwood made it his mission to preserve, is internationally recognized as one of the most pristine and inviting towns in the United States. It is no surprise that Carmel has always been a haven for celebrities and high society, even before Dirty Harry took over. Today, the idyllic, yet exciting town, has adhered to its historical integrity (there are no streetlights or sidewalks or fast food developments). Whether you come to wander through the countless galleries displaying local artist’ work, the theatrical performances, the wine tastings in the surrounding vineyards, golf at the famous Pebble Beach Golf Course or just to take in the breathtaking scenery of the Carmel Valley and the Monterey Peninsula, there is nothing here that won’t “make your day.”
