European in style, Californian in climate; Carmel is a truly picturesque region of the Monterey Bay region. A beautiful Oceanside town, the views here are phenomenal and certainly one of this area’s biggest draws for tourists. Boasting a relaxed ambience and a quaint selection of shops, galleries and eateries, this is quite unlike many other Californian beach destinations. It’s not difficult to see how this area has inspired so many poets and artists over the years.
