Sandy beach at Carmel-by-the-Sea
We had a leisurely ride through the storybook streets of affluent Carmel this morning, with a photo stop at the beautiful sandy beach. Then it was back on Pacific Coast Highway 1, to enjoy the ride & the dramatic coastline to our right. Maurice was lucky enough to see a whale surface out to sea, as it migrated on to distant breeding waters. We stopped for lunch at the aptly named Whale Watchers Cafe, before continuing our scenic ride.
Further down the coast we stopped to see the elephant seals basking on the beach, great big blubbery creatures, flicking the sand over themselves, & bickering noisily as they moulted their shabby, winter coats in favour of summer splendour.
