Renowned for its spectacular sandy beach, Carmel-by-the-Sea is a romantic seaside destination. A charming coastal resort that captivates visitors with an enchanting village ambience, Carmel exists in a setting that’s delightfully removed from the world. A paradise for art lovers, Carmel is home to over 50 art galleries showcasing high-quality fine art collections.

The fun in visiting Carmel lies in the discovery of its unique specialty boutiques on quaint streets and hidden in passageways and courtyards.

A lot of surprises await the tourist on holiday to Northern California who takes the time to explore the area, such as the Cottage of Sweets which sells imported English candies. Mission Ranch has a gourmet restaurant that provides amazing views of the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Diners can also enjoy piano concerts and live jazz with their Sunday brunch.

Romance finds a home in the idyllic region of Northern California, where fog rolls in from the ocean to blanked redwood forests as whales make an appearance offshore. Northern California boasts natural areas with dramatic cliffs of granite, unusual erosion-created rock formations, caves, headlands and rock-enclosed ponds that continue to form. Waves crash on the rocks as tidal pools reveal some of the small marine life. Interesting hiking trails afford travellers fabulous views of the ocean, meadows and headlands. While strolling the towns of Northern California, tourists will stumble upon quaint artisan boutiques, world-class art galleries, inviting fine-dining restaurants and cute one-of-a-kind shops.
