Welcome to Carmel California!

The idea for I Love Carmel California.com started after my husband and I visited Carmel by-the-Sea in 2008. We fell in love with the charm of the village of Carmel, the quaint Carmel cottages, the friendly residents, the abundance of things to do - much of which is within walking distance. We purchased our home in July of that year and have been enjoying the beauty of Carmel ever since.  When our friends from all over the country found out we had purchased a home in Carmel, the overwhelming comment was, "I Love Carmel California!" 

I Love Carmel California.com is our way of sharing the wonderful things we have discovered about Carmel with you. Whether you're looking for the history of Carmel, or perhaps the  best Carmel restaurants, a Carmel inn, the culture, things to do, spas in Carmel, the celebrities, the shopping, or just enjoying a stroll to the beach, there is something for you at I Love Carmel California.com.  We welcome your comments and suggestions...we are always adding new things to our site so please feel free to share with friends and come back often to experience Carmel by-the-Sea!
