The Best 3 Star Hotels in Carmel, CA from AED 580

The spot the droves of tourists stop is at the Bixby Creek Bridge (that you can see in the distance). It is a beautiful spot no doubt. But drive 5 minutes further south to Hurricane Point, at a high point in the road, and get a better view of the coastline. And you don't have to battle all the tourons to find a parking spot. Bring a jacket though, the wind is racing at premium speeds at Hurricane Point.
