Wonderful landscapes mixed with quaint residential architecture

absurdly expensive
In a nutshell
A nice spot to see while visiting the Monterey Bay area.
9 Reviews Like what I've said in my previous tips, Carmel By The Sea Became Famous in the early 1900's as artists started flocking here to make their works of art among the romantic beaches and the view of the famed Monterey Cypress Trees and at present, It has more than 100 art galleries located in the one...

It also has the less expensive Spy Glass Hill Golf...

10 Reviews Carmel Beach is surrounded by a Monterrey Pine Forest & twisted Cypress trees crown the pristine beach. Walk, play, frolic on the beach and sink your toes in the soft white sand. Its crystal blue water is so clean and beautiful, but is colder than the beaches of Southern California. In fact this was...
Point Lobos State Reserve Park
4 Reviews Point Lobos State Reserve enjoys a spectacular location on the California coast in Carmel. Trails traverse the coastline and its nearby surroundings. Migrating whales can sometimes be seen offshore by lucky visitors. We saw a couple of them from a trail in early March. The Reserve offers a variety...

3 Reviews if you are visiting the Hearst Castle Historical State Park after a walk through of Monterey and Carmel with lost of spare time or having 2 to 3 day extra time, I would suggest a timely stop along Big Sur and the historic Highway 1 that straddles the Santa Lucia Mountain range and the Pacific Ocean...
3 Reviews San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission, 1771, is the site of The Carmel Mission Basilica and National Shrine of Blessed Junipero Serra, who founded the California Missions and is buried in the Church.

1 Review In 2007 the Carmel Art Festival is in its 14th year. I visited on the busy Saturday when the "Sculpture in the Park" at Devendorf Park along Ocean Ave was impressive, and Mission Street was closed off for displays of paintings. The festival also has a Youth Art Show, Quick Draw, and Kids Art Day....
1 Review Garland Ranch Regional Park is located just a short drive up Carmel Valley Road, and is a great place to get away from civilization for a while. This park has easy to difficult trails that go from elevations of 200 to 2000 feet. It is flat along the old floodplain, but the trails ascend steeply up...
1 Review Mission Carmel was founded by Father Junipero Serra in 1770, the second in the California chain. Mission Carmel was the headquarters of the Mission chain from until he died in 1803. The Carmel Mission was his favorite, and he lies buried here under the altar.
1 Review Somebody told me this is called “The poor man’s Pebble.” As in it’s less expensive to play than neighboring Pebble Beach. There’s NOTHING poor about Spyglass. Ok, it’s $150.00 cheaper than Pebble, but at $300.00 a round (w/out cart or caddy), I wouldn’t say it’s “cheap.” I rarely drop 300 bucks on a...

machomikemd Says: The Rocky Creek bridge is the less famous of the CA Highway 1 arched bridged in the California Central Coast. This bridge is nearer to the Monterey Peninsula by a few miles but if you are driving along the CA Route 1 route, you will pass both the Rocky Creek Bridge and Bixby...
machomikemd Says: Since the early 1900's, Carmel By The Sea was known as a center for Arts since there are many artists and art galleries located along the area and hence the cost of living in the place is high and the houses are expensive. Since Carmel has many art galleries, rich people...
