CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA

BY Linda Almini

DE S T I N AT I ON

An easy drive out of Silicon Valley takes you to one of the most scenic and desirable locations on the west coast: Carmel-bythe-Sea. Sunset-rouged coastlines, pristine white-sand beaches, and the area’s iconic cypress trees are the images one conjures up when thinking of Carmel. Traveling south on Highway 1,

midway between Pebble Beach and the mouth of Carmel Valley, the Ocean Avenue exit welcomes you to take a right and descend into Carmel-by-the-Sea. As you roll down Ocean Avenue, passing cottage-style homes and cobblestone walks, get ready for a revived Carmel. The sleepy village has awakened with a fresh look, feel, and taste on and around Ocean Avenue, and it’s delightfully visible in the storefronts, and deliciously palatable in the restaurants.
