Desert Jet Destinations: Carmel-by-the-Sea, California

This seaside town 120 miles south of San Francisco, tucked between Big Sur to the south and the Monterey Peninsula to the north, has beaches and ocean views that will take your breath away. First settled in 1902, by 1906 over 60% of the homes that had been built in the town were done by persons “devoting their lives to work connected to the aesthetic arts.” The population has been dominated by artists, actors, poets and musicians ever since. Clint Eastwood’s single term as mayor from 1986-1988 was the third term by someone that listed their profession as an “actor.”

The city is one of the most “dog-friendly” towns in America. In fact, rumors of dogs being treated better than humans at Doris Day’s hotel have been around for years, but the hotel insists that humans are treated “at least as well” as their canine guests. The beach is open to dogs and most restaurants have heated outdoor seating where puppies are welcome to dine with their owners. More than half of the hotels and B&Bs are also pet-friendly.

Aside from music and the arts, golf is also huge in Carmel. Pebble Beach Golf Course is adjacent to the city with Spanish Bay, Spyglass, Pacific Grove, Cypress Point, Poppy Hills, and Pasatiempo courses all just minutes away on the Monterey Peninsula. The 17-mile-drive winds around the peninsula starting, or ending, in Carmel with views of the coast that have been captured by thousands of photographers and tourists alike. Dolphin, Seals, Sea Lions and Sea Otters all play just off-shore. If you’re lucky and look hard enough, you might catch a glimpse of one or more. Even the California Gray Whale passes by these beaches twice a year during their annual migration between the Bering Sea and Baja California.

Carmel is served by Monterey Peninsula Airport (IATA: MRY, ICAO: KMRY) and is only a few minutes away on California Route 1. You, your associates, your dogs, and your golf clubs are all welcome on Desert Jet Citations. Let us set up your next trip to Carmel.
