Plan Your California Vacation
|
Though popular in summer, it doesn't have anywhere close to the crowds and traffic of Southern California or the San Francisco Bay area.
The cooling marine breezes are a welcome respite from inland heat waves. The area is rich with natural beauty, especially evident at Point Lobos, the 17 Mile Drive and Elkhorn Slough.

It's also full of California history, as this was the first capital of California. The downtown area is filled with historic old buildings where you can do a walking tour, or visit the Carmel Mission for a flavor of the past.
