Carmel and the Monterey Peninsula

Spectacular Escapes on the California Central Coast

Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif. – A cool, gentle ocean breeze sweeps over your face as the rays of the sun warm your skin and a smile quickly envelops your face. It’s a reminder that you’ve left the blistering summer heat behind and have arrived at one of those rare and magical destinations. Welcome to Carmel.

The California Coast is special and Carmel-by-the-Sea delivers a world class escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. Tucked along the coast, an early morning drive from Roseville or Rocklin as well as most points in Northern and Central California, Carmel offers virtually unlimited opportunities for the perfect getaway in a unique and eclectic environment.

Our adventure-filled week included a stay at the romantic Vendange Carmel Inn & Suites as well as the original cottage of the famed Hofsas House where you’re likely to encounter enthusiastic travelers from around the globe.

Of course any visit to Carmel must include great eats, a fantastic selection of wine tastings and obligatory time on spectacular Carmel Bay.
