Carmel Maps and Orientation
(Carmel - Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey County, California - CA, USA)
Situated in central California and close to a number of very famous cities, Carmel-by-the-Sea (Carmel) is located next to the Californian coastline and close to Pebble Beach. On the northerly outskirts of Carmel, the Cabrillo Highway (US-1) heads northwards to Marina and towards the popular cities of
San Francisco,
Oakland and
San Jose.
Close to home, Carmel is just a stone's throw from
Monterey and Pacific Grove, and north of
Big Sur. Head further south and along Interstate 5 and you will reach
Los Angeles,
Long Beach and Huntington Beach, and eventually, also
San Diego and Tijuana.
Maps and Orientation of the Town
To the east of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Carmel Valley is easy to reach and is located alongside the spreading Garland Ranch Regional Park and Robles Del Rio. This beautiful valley is home to its very own town, which has become known for its laid back approach to life, numerous vineyards, and quality golf courses, such as the very affordable Rancho Canada Golf Club off the Carmel Valley Road, directly east of the Highway 1.
Unless you are planning to explore the California lying outside of Carmel, maps are not really necessary. However, if you choose to drive along the very scenic and equally famous 17 Mile Drive, then maps are strongly recommended, so that you will be able to find the best places to spot off and enjoy the stunning views. Within the center of Carmel itself, the Ocean Avenue serves as the main thoroughfare and is flanked with a good selection of stores, galleries and eateries, leading towards a very pretty beachfront.
