About Carmel

When planning a Carmel California Vacation, be sure and give yourself a couple of extra days. Why?  You will not want to leave this beautiful village by the bay. History, romance and absolute beauty all contribute to the hold that Carmel has over its visitors.

Your Carmel California Vacation will be a busy one because there are many things to do, and everyone will tell you the best way to explore the village it is by walking. There are so many lovely courtyards, over sixty, so you will want to walk so that you don’t miss one. Stop in at the Chamber of Commerce and pick up a walking map as well as information on all the local shops and attractions.  

Your Carmel California romantic vacation should also include a visit to Tor House. It is home to one of the great American poets, Robinson Jeffers. This haven built of stone from the shores of Carmel in 1914; it is also the location of the Hawk Tower. The tower will remind you of the Irish Stone Towers from ancient times. This is an amazing photo opportunity.

If your Carmel California Vacation allows for area site seeing, then jump in your car and enjoy the 17-Mile Drive. You will find there are many places to stop along the way. Follow this drive to the Pebble Beach Golf Links if golfing is your forte. World famous golfing on one of the most beautiful coast side courses, call ahead arraignments are recommended. You will also find there are great photo opportunities along the 17 Mile drive that will allow photos beside the golf course. There are many spots along the 17 Mile Drive where you can watch sea otters at play. If the season is right, you may see whales as they are migrating.
