Set against the compelling backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and nestled in a pine forest, the unique and intimate village of Carmel is like no other.
Originating in the late 19th century as a planned seaside resort, Carmel has grown to become an artist colony and later, a coveted location for a seaside home by the rich and famous.
Carmel village has beautiful and quaint import shops, craft centers and many fine art galleries, all wrapped in unique serene atmosphere.
The Seventeen Mile Drive, a scenic gated road connecting Carmel, Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove and Monterey is the main attraction for visitors.
Carmel Mission built in 1771 and completely restored to reflect the story of the Spanish missionaries is another.
