The town Carmel-by-the-Sea, located off Highway 1 just south of Monterey and north of Big Sur, gained fame in the late 1980s when Clint Eastwood was its mayor, but it already had been a popular getaway for arts lovers. After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Carmel offered incredible incentives for artists and writers to relocate to the newly forming town, and that legacy of supporting the arts exists today. In addition to the usual draw of a Pacific coast beach town, people flock to Carmel for its Shakespeare Festival, Bach Festival, Art Festival and the nearby Monterey Jazz Festival, among other events. Carmel draws an affluent crowd, and galleries line the town’s easily walkable center, along with boutique shops and casual yet award-winning restaurants. There are plenty of local lodges with wonderful ocean views and spas, and a Carmel vacation should include at least one day of wine tasting an visiting the vineyards in Carmel Valley, just a few miles inland. Carmel also loves dogs—the Carmel City Beach is leash free—and most hotels allow guests with pooches, and some restaurants offer doggie menus. Architectural highlights include the Carmel Mission, dating to 1771, and the 21 fairy-tale like cottages built in the 1920s by Hugh Comstock, giving the town an English countryside feel. Carmel also has its quirks. To maintain its village charm, buildings do not have street numbers and new developments must be built around existing trees. There are no streetlights or parking meters, and when Clint Eastwood was mayor, he repealed a law that didn’t allow ice cream to be sold or eaten on city sidewalks. It’s still illegal, however, to wear high heels above 2-inches in height without a permit.
