Carmel Beach which is located at the foot of Ocean Avenue is one of the most iconic spots on California's Central Coast and is rated "One of America's Top Beach Towns. It is renowned for its brilliant white sand beach I love beaches and hence I make it a point to visit this well know beach in California. The beach itself was really clean and beautiful. There is ample of carpark around and also a clean bathroom. It will take about 2 hours drive from the Bay Area so if you are near by it is highly recommended to do so
