Oh What a Night!!!

Carmel sunsets are breathtaking. Below are some photos from a recent sunset at Carmel Meadows Beach.

This photos is taken looking towards Pebble Beach.

This photo is looking towards Point Lobos.

Here is the start of the real beauty...

Look at that!!!! The sunset over Point Lobos

Carmel Meadows beach is located off Hwy 1 just south of Carmel before you reach Point Lobos. When going into Carmel Meadows go to the end of Ribera Rd. There is a wood stairway down to the beach. Enjoy!!!

A Walk in Point Lobos

Before the Superbowl on Sunday a friend and I couldn't help but go out and enjoy the phenomenal weather that we are having here on the Monterey Peninsula.

Where did we go you ask....Point Lobos!

Point Lobos is a few miles south of Carmel on Highway 1 before you reach Carmel Highlands. A state park that many people flock to during the migration of the whales every year. If you park outside of the park it is free to walk in. Click here to get more information.

So back to Sunday... it was one of those days that made Point Lobos almost more breathtaking than normal.

Here are some of the photos that I took I hope you will enjoy them.

Along the trail!

The Sea lions enjoying the February Sun!

Are those California Poppy's before spring?

Carmel by the Sea

Carmel by the Sea was initially a small artist’s community.

Today, the quaint little town of Carmel draws a large number of visitors from all over the world.

Many of those visitors are on the lookout for Carmel’s famous former Mayor, Clint Eastwood. Others come to Carmel by the Sea to purchase one of those cute Carmel Cottages that we all love. Others still, either take a stroll down Ocean Avenue for world famous shopping or walk their dogs, because Carmel is America’s #1 dog loving town. You can’t go far without seeing man’s best friend enjoying a bone at the local coffee shop or restaurant. Although the reason most people come to visit or live in Carmel is because of the unbelievable scenery. Everywhere you look it’s breathtaking; white sandy beaches, the beauty of Carmel Mission, or the trails of Point Lobos where if you are lucky you will spot an otter frolicking in the surf or even better a whale spouting on their annual migration path up or down the coast! Yes, Carmel has something for everyone.
