Carmel-By-The-Sea Travel Information

Carmel hotels
Carmel by the Sea is the romantic vacation and golfer's paradise with sandy, pet-friendly beaches, bonfires at the beach, art, great dining, and Clint Eastwood's home. Don't be surprised to celebrities in this section of the Central Coast. There are so many people who love Carmel and for those with extra money in their wallet, a comfy coastal home can be had with prices beginning in the lower millions. Carmel isn't just about serving the needs of the rich and famous however. For nearly 100 years, the community has catered to average people, and even starving artists. From its roots as an art colony, the city grew, yet never shed its love for fine art. Today you'll find more art galleries per capita than most cities in the U.S. Carmel does tourism well, also. Not everyone who visits can afford fine art, and for them, there are plenty of affordable gifts, art glicees and souvenirs. The average Joe or Clint is welcomed with the same ambience that the upper crust enjoys. From the tree-shaded streets to the stunning rocks that slam the beaches of Pebble Beach within view of Carmel Beach, tourists are swept with the romance and scent of the oak fires that waft into the cool Carmel nights. As you walk along brick paths, you may notice there aren't street addresses on most buildings. That's because locals know their buildings and homes by descriptive terms, and don't necessarily require elaborate numbering systems for such things. It is one more tradition that makes Carmel unique, and such a breath of fresh air from the big city rush.
