Carmel-by-the-Sea began as “a seaside town on Carmel Beach in the pine forest alongside Carmel Mission.” The city was built to supplement the natural surrounding beauty, and not the other way around. In 1906, “The San Francisco Call” newspaper devoted a full page to the "artists, poets and writers of Carmel-by-the-Sea," and in 1910 it reported that 60 percent of Carmel's houses were built by citizens who were "devoting their lives to work connected to the aesthetic arts." This city is now world-renowned for its beautiful white sand beaches, art galleries as well as shops and restaurants, and was rated a top ten destination in the U.S. by Conde Nast Traveler. It is also one of the most dog-friendly cities in the country. Carmel is known as a ‘residential city,’ and enforces strict laws on city businesses to retain the natural beauty of the area, and in doing so the picturesque views that residents of Carmel enjoy. Visitors can choose from some of the most impressive hotels, spas, shops and restaurants in Northern California, not to mention some of the most beautiful beaches in all of California.
