Description

Backed up on the ninth hole of Pebble Beach Golf Course is the Carmel Beach City Park, which stretches all the way down to Carmel Point. This is a great place to bring your dog and let him run off leash on the white sands that make this a beautiful scenic point. One of the great advantages of this beach is that it is right next to the downtown area, and is a short walk down to the waterfront. With the Cypress trees on the edge of the sand and the blue crashing waves, you'll soon realize why it's called "Carmel-by-the-Sea."
