Carmel, or Carmel-by-the-Sea, is one of California’s many treasures. Tucked in the forest, this charming town is filled with unique boutiques, renowned restaurants and world famous art galleries. Carmel is both rich in history and art. Father Junipero Serra, the Bohemians of the early 1900s, and even Clint Eastwood all have been drawn by the beauty of Carmel. Artists, photographers and writers are valued members of the community. Theater thrives at several venues and plays are still staged at the Forest Theater and Pacific Repertory Theatre. The Carmel Music Society, the Bach Festival and other accomplished groups offer outstanding musical programs.
