Carmel is a beautiful little village nestling between Pebble Beach Golf Club to the north and the spectacular Big Sur coast to the South.
Named after Carmelite Friars who arrived here with Spanish settlers.
Situated on the Bay of Carmel it has a wonderful white sandy beach, where you can sit and relax in the sun and watch the seas waves as they lap the shore.
Our time in Carmel was very limited and I only wish we had had more time to explore. What I can say is that what we saw was wonderful and I am certainly glad that we did visit.
- Pros:A village by the sea
- Cons:cant afford to live here!!!!!

A wonderful page, I was also there for only a few hours. :-(
Next time stay at Carmel Ranch Inn. Clint still owns it and hangs out in the bar/restaurant frequently!
Truly great pages, keep up the first-class tips and pics ;-)
I wish I had had more time here, it was beautiful.
Lovely memories Di. I stopped here during my drive up the PCH. I met a Clint Eastwood double at Knotts Berry Farm but missed out on the real thing too. Shame!
Hog's breath, thats what my wife calls me after a curry hahahaha.
Hog's Breath is still there...it has been 30 years since I have been there!
No footpaths, no streetlamps - very strange! Interesting page!
Harry isn't still maayor here, is he?
really nice page. unfortunately we only spent a few hours in carmel :(
