Carmel
Where the dramatic Big Sur coastline ends sits little Carmel By The Sea, a postcard village come to life.
Artists and dogs love Carmel. There are more galleries here than you can poke a stick at and plenty of dogs to chase that stick if you should decide to throw it. Carmel has a long artistic history that still thrives. The town is very accommodating to dogs, including shops and cafés that welcome canines. This quaint town prides itself on its historic charm and forest setting overlooking a white sandy beach. And the fact that Clint Eastwood was once the mayor!
