When California locals say Carmel, they mean Carmel-by-the-Sea, the quaint seaside village on California’s Central Coast without street lights and addresses, where Clint Eastwood was mayor once upon a time. But many also mean nearby coastal Carmel Highlands and Carmel Valley. The three enclaves have long drawn artists, writers and bohemian types, like Jack Kerouac and Salvador Dalí, who came to the region for its fresh Pacific Ocean air, starry night skies, the Santa Lucia Mountains and sandy beaches off dramatic coastal cliffs.
Those natural features now attract a new cohort of creatives, resulting in a profusion of locavore restaurants, snazzy shops, art galleries and boutique hotels.
