 Carmel River Sand Bar by atufft
Meanwhile, tourists love to walk along the sandbar viewing the wetlands and the beach, all of which is part of the Carmel River State Park, an area adjacent to Big Sur. The danger of climbing into the water along here, however, is even greater than the city beach at the foot of Ocean Street. The heavy cross currents and undertoe are so dangerous only a fool would climb into the water here. Nevertheless, fools do and drown on a regular basis. The low water temperatures speed the process.

 Relinde is window
shopping in Carmel. by Jerelis
Carmel's rural setting and leisurely pace help you relax and it's small elegant inns, restaurants, art galleries and shops make sure of a nice stay. It's fun to straw through the narrow streets and do some window shopping. But to be honest...it's quite expensive! Leave a Comment

 "left", "no, other side",
"what are you doing!" by Jerelis
The general statement that men and women respond and behave differently under the same circumstances is true; For example, from the crib, male babies tend to be more aggressive and females more passive. As adults, in spatial operations, men have the edge in such skills as negotiating a maze, reading a map, and quickly discriminating between right and left. Men also perform better than women when asked to visualize an object and imagine rotating it. On the other hand, women tend to perform better than men when asked to look at objects of different shapes, sizes, and colors, and then to group them in some order.
This still doesn't explain why Relinde turns the map all around when I'm asking for the road to travel, while I like the map at one point so I can better visualize our position. Help! Leave a Comment

High surf and waves...stay off the rocks.
Stay off wet rocks...it means surf has crashed in recently.
Tourists want to take pictures of them selves and loved ones standing precariously on rocks...Big mistake. Surf thins the tourist herd every year on the Central Coast. be smart...be safe ..dont let little kids wander off un-attended, even if it seems calm. waves can come out of nowhere and knock anyone off a rock or beach and on into the 54 degree water(thats the summer temp by the waycan you say hypothermia??!! A few years ago in neighboring Big Sur, 3 tourists on a rock taking pics...big wave...all died...daughter, mother and grandmother.Not worth that picture. Leave a Comment Phone: 911

Looking back on this day, I should have planned it differently. From San Francisco to San Simeon is a long drive and there is far too much to see along the way. Monterey, Carmel and the spectacular views from highway 1 deserved some more time.

This beach, on Highway 1 south of Carmel–by-the-Sea and near Pt. Lobos State Reserve, is part of Carmel River State Beach and takes its name from the Carmelite Monastery across the highway.
It is know locally as "Mortuary Beach", due to the very high death rate. HEED THE SIGNS!!! It's even worse than they depict.
Though beautiful, the currents are very strong. An experienced diver is in danger there, so a casual beachgoer has virtually NO CHANCE of survival if caught in a rip-tide. The ocean side of the beach goes very steeply straight down to the bottom of the Monterey Marine Canyon, 9600 feet (2900 meters).
While you're there, take the time to visit the monastery. Actually, it's a nunnery for an order of cloistered nuns. The grounds are open to the public, and the chapel is also, when the sisters aren't in there. The chapel was built of Carmel stone, a local form of sandstone seen on many buildings in the area. An architectural note- most buildings using the material do so in a rustic or casual form, while the chapel is very formal, with regularly-sized blocks and tight mortar joints. Leave a Comment
