"Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. A city in the forest. A one-mile long pure white sandy beach. A cultural mecca for the performing and visual arts. Superb dining and shopping experiences. A story book setting!"
Carmel = Arts and Culture: theater arts, literary arts, visual arts and music. Origin? After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, musicians, writers, painters came to this established artist colony (Carmel Arts and Crafts Club 1905) after the bay city was destroyed.
Just one example: the annual Carmel Bach Festival which began in 1935.

Carmel's unusual laws:
1. The city is "dog-friendly"; man's faithful companion is accepted in many public places.
2. High-heel shoes are forbidden --- to prevent lawsuits arising from tripping accidents caused by irregular pavement.
3. It had been forbidden to sell and eat ice cream on public streets!
