Other neighborhoods in Carmel, Pebble Beach & Big Sur

Pebble Beach

The gated forest of the Monterey Peninsula, with Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spanish Bay on the ocean. Inside are the 17-Mile Drive, the Lone Cypress and the Beach & Tennis Club, minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea's cottages, galleries and white beach.

Carmel Valley

The sunny valley inland from Carmel, with vineyards and tasting rooms around Carmel Valley Village. Oaks and pines cover the hillsides; it is warmer and clearer than the coast, a quarter of an hour from Carmel-by-the-Sea and a scenic drive from Big Sur.
