 Carmel- by- the- Sea, often
abbreviated as “Carmel”, is
a small town endowed with a
rich artistic history
situated on the Monterey
Peninsula. Clint Eastwood
was once the town’s mayor
for just one term, from 1986
to 1988.
An enchanting seaside
community, Carmel-by-
the-Sea is known throughout
the world for its pristine
white, sandy beaches, fairy-
tale cottage- type
architecture, and Mission
San Carlos de Borromeo, the
jewel of the California
missions and the resting
place of its founder, Father
Junipero Serra. Local law
preserves Carmel’s rustic
quaintness by prohibiting
stop lights, neon signs, and
commercial enterprise on the
beach. Trees may not be cut
without special permission.
However, this one-
square-mile village, with
its secluded alleyways and
courtyards, is a beehive of
small business activity that
includes many fine inns and
hotels, over 100 art
galleries, and dozens of
boutiques, small cafés and
gourmet restaurants. True to
its roots as a cultural
oasis for artists, writers
and other creative
individuals, Carmel annually
presents many events such as
the
Carmel Art Festival,
Carmel Art Walk,
Carmel Bach
Festival and the Carmel
Shakespeare Festival.
