Rich in artistic culture and decadent seaside landscapes, Carmel-by-the-Sea offers a sweet, charming beach-town experience. Loved by famous residents such as Upton Sinclair, Brad Pitt, and Ansel Adams, Carmel is also known as the "artist's colony." A haven for theatres and galleries, Carmel's natural beauty alone inspires writers and artists.

Carmel combines unblemished beaches with delightful restaurants and shops. Its waters are perfect for whale-watching and surfing, and Carmel's cliffs are great for scenic hiking trips.
