Carmel-by-the-Sea Travel Guide

Carmel-by-the-Sea defies ordinary description. Streets have no sidewalks. Trees grow through homes. There are no fast food restaurants, no parking meters, no neon signs. What Carmel has is enchanting: galleries around every corner, restaurants of remarkable quality, a beach of supernatural beauty, and a village spirit that resists the modern world at every turn. Former mayor Clint Eastwood's presence is still felt. Come and understand why people never want to leave.
