Carmel Meadows
Carmel Meadows is located west of Hwy 1, stretching out to the Pacific. It is located south of the Carmel Point neighborhood, and has gorgeous beaches and magnificent homes on the hilltop above. As you enter Carmel Meadows from the north around Scenic Road, you will reach Carmel River Lagoon. A wetlands preserve, you will encounter varieties of amazing waterfowl here including great blue herons, geese, pelican and more. It is a treat for the amateur or experienced bird watcher. Continuing your coastline trek south through Carmel Meadows you will reach Carmel River State Beach. Where the Carmel River enters the sea, it is a pristine crescent shaped beach that is popular with locals and less congested than Carmel Beach can be on a sunny Saturday. At the southernmost portion of Carmel River State Beach you will find a beach known as Monastery Beach, named for the white tower of the Carmelite Monastery across the highway. Formerly known as San Jose Creek Beach, it is popular with scuba divers but not for swimming as the surf can be extremely dangerous. At the southern tip of the neighborhood you will find a meadow which sits above the beach offering expansive and elevated views from Point Lobos to Pebble Beach.
