Carmel Town | Just like a fairy tale world

Located on the winding slopes, surrounded by lush forests, overlooking the rugged coastline covered by cypress trees. This dreamy fairy-tale town 'settled' many art galleries, boutiques, historic inns, cafes and fairy-tale cottages. Walking in this one-square-mile town, the scent of eucalyptus, pine and jasmine is everywhere, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks can be faintly heard. The residential streets seem to be hidden behind the trees, blending with the lush vegetation. In 1900, James Franklin Devendorf and Frank Powers from San Francisco bought most of the land here, intending to establish a haven for intellectuals and independent individuals. Soon they attracted many artists, writers and poets, such as Robert Lewis Stevenson, the author of 'Treasure Island', Jack London, etc. Interesting things about the town ✨Bing Crosby (if you love old musicals, you definitely know him) hosted a winter golf pro-am (a competition between professional and amateur golfers) here, called 'Clam Bake' 🌟Clint Eastwood (my idol!!) served as the mayor of Carmel from 1986 to 1988. During his tenure, he added public toilets by the sea and lifted the ban on eating ice cream 🍦 in public places (there are so many strange bans in the US) 💫 The houses here still have no addresses, only names, and residents have to go to the post office to get their mail. Check-in architecture 📸 La Bicyclette🥐 Beautiful Brunch Kris Kringle of Carmel 🎄 Christmas decoration shop, where you can buy ornaments made from candy house templates, and under the guidance of the shop owner, you can find the small house built in the town based on the candy house. Hansel & Gritel 🍬 Named after the world-famous fairy tale 'Candy House', the owner lives nearby and will come back from time to time. Hog’s Breath Inn 🍔 You can order a burger Normandy Inn 🇫🇷 A half-timbered French country inn, surrounded by flowers, is quite photogenic. Various retro music boxes, those who love them naturally understand Excellent rugged coastline observation point nearby Bixy Creek Bridge, a popular check-in bridge
