Carmel by the Sea, CA 93921
A couple of hair pin turns, and a few breathtaking views of the sea, up Big Sur Highway, you will stumble upon the romantic city known to all as Carmel-By-The-Sea. This city of art, with its storybook cottages and streets of cobblestone, will certainly make you feel as though you have been whisked backwards in time. You don’t want to leave California without first visiting this lovely place called Carmel-By-The-Sea.

While planning your Carmel-by-the-Sea California Vacation, you will want to include many of the sites that the locals offer. Not only are the streets lined with the most amazing shops, galleries, and historic buildings, this is where you will find the infamous Seventeen Mile Drive.

While driving seventeen miles along some of the most incredible coastline in the world, you will see seals sunning like rocks on the beach, while deer run among the trees on the opposite side of your highway. This beach is where the rocky coast meets the sea. Scattered among these rocks you will many old and twisted cypress trees. High on a cliff, surrounded by a low protective wall, you will see a cypress tree. It is standing alone, overlooking the ocean, as it has done for 250 years. This Carmel-by-the-Sea California Vacation drive will take you along the famous Pebble Beach Golf Course. There are many places to stop along the drive and walk along the beach. It is important to remember though, that the undertow is fierce here and this is not a safe swimming place.

After your drive plan a stop at the Casanova Restaurant when planning your Carmel-By-The-Sea California vacation. This romantic adobe style restaurant serves the best Linguini con Scampi you will ever eat. You can enjoy your meal sitting outside among the fragrant flowers or inside at the exact table at which Vincent Van Gogh enjoyed his meal. The warm French Italian décor instantly relaxes you and creates a very comfortable evening.
