Carmel lives up to its reputation in my opinion. We walked among the shops, drank morning coffee on the beach, visited the nearby mission, and stopped at Clint Eastwood's Hogsbreath Saloon. For more Carmel photos visit this link.
We especially enjoyed the nearby 17 mile drive at Pebble Beach. Pebble Beach is filled with high dollar homes and golf courses but the designated route leads you past wildlife, oceanside, and tourists. We watched golfers while eating lunch at Poppy Hills Golf Course after wading in the ocean.
On one portion of the drive there is an abundance of Monterey Cypress, windswept by time and the ocean breezes, with cottages nestled underneath.
All along 17 mile drive there were places to stop whether for a walk, to watch some golfers, to enjoy the view of or wade in the ocean, or to perhaps watch a seal climb up on a rock among hundreds of birds. We watched the sea lions manipulate their way to the beach for some sunning and an afternoon nap. 
It just seemed to be that time of day. More photos
