Whale watching off the Monterey Peninsula
by bruingirl
During the winter months, the grey whales migrate south to Mexico to have their pups. It's a great time to go out and observe the marine life out here! In the summer, there are blue whales and various other whale species that migrate.

Carmel-by-the-Sea is a 5-star community nestled between Big Sur and Pebble Beach Golf Course. It is also the gateway to the famous 17-Mile Drive.
And some of the FUN things you may like to do whilst you're here include:
Strolling along the beach and listening to the giant waves pound against the rocks....
Playing golf on perfectly manicured greens.
Go Horseback Riding. There's a particular excursion that I'd like to recommend and that is the 'Beach Trail Rides' (cost: US$45 per individual) where experienced guides will take riders to some of the most breathtaking spots on earth! You'd have a chance to see the rugged Pacific coastline and unparalleled views of the world-famous fairways of Cypress Point Golf Club and Spyglass Hill Golf Course. Ah, so nice!
Just do nothing but Eat, Eat and EAT at the many lovely local cafes, eateries and restaurants in this quaint little town. :-)
You can also choose to attend one of the many special art gallery walks around town. Whatever it is, just chill out and enjoy your short stay in this seaside resort town. See what we chanced upon when we were out strolling that day in Carmel-by-the-Sea? Yes, this cool statue..... Cute!
Former place of beginning artists.
by Pavlik_NL
Carmel itself used to be a hip place where forming artists lived. However, living here is now-a-days so expensive that maybe only the already settled artists can have a house here. Still, some expositions witness the old days and show new painters or sculpters.
The off course still find wonderful places to get inspiration along the rocky shores. On the other hand the waters are cold and often full of weats. This is the domain of the sea-otter. A nice clever animal that opens shells with a stone while floating relaxed on the waves.
