Carmel-by-the-Sea, Coastal resort city in Monterey County, California.
Located on the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel-by-the-Sea covers one square mile of land with white sand beaches along the Pacific Ocean coast.
The Spanish colonizers established Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo in 1797, which became the headquarters for California's mission system until 1833.
The Carmel Arts and Crafts Club, established in 1905, transformed the city into an art colony through theater productions and gallery exhibitions.
The compact downtown area contains numerous restaurants, wine tasting rooms, and shops within walking distance of Mediterranean-style residential neighborhoods.
Local regulations prohibit street addresses, street lights, and parking meters to maintain the natural character of this California coastal settlement.
