The quiet seaside community of Carmel, California has been a tourist draw for over a century. Carmel first attracted the attention of literary notables Robert Louis Stevenson and Sinclair Lewis as serene artist's colony where the use of streetlights or house numbers were prohibited. The artistic enclave hosts approximately ninety art studios and galleries, antique shops, boutiques, and quaint cafes and restaurants. A breathtaking coastline, beaches of white sand, inns, trendy restaurants, boutiques, and galleries characterize the swank bohemian-style Northern California village.
Carmel is south of California's Monterey Bay on the Pacific Coast of Central California. Serenely secured on the picturesque Carmel Bay, Carmel, California is enveloped in green hills of pine forest that have consistently earned the area the distinction as one of the 'Top Tourist Destinations' in the United States.
Major tourist haunts include the Carmel Art Festival, Carmel Bach Festival and the Carmel Shakespeare Festival. Carmel Mission is situated just beyond the hilly backdrop of Carmel-By-The-Sea. The tranquil nature reserve was established in 1771. Point Lobos State Reserve sports hiking trails, scuba diving, and a strong population of sea lion.
