The city is situated on the north side of Monterey Bay and its Wharf offers a spot for fishing, watching nearby sea lions, shopping and dining.

4-Day California Coast & Yosemite Tour from Los Angeles·17-Mile Drive, San Francisco & Highway 1

One of the stronger details was Los Angeles round trip; it gave this version of the tour a clearer identity than a bare-bones list of attractions. If I return to California, I would probably stay near Carmel for several days, but for a first visit I was glad to also see Stanford and Fisherman’s Wharf. I was worried group travel would mean a lot of wasted waiting time, but the days around Carmel and Stanford moved along with fairly clear meeting points. Before leaving I barely noticed Los Angeles round trip in the description, but in practice it was much more noticeable than it looked online.
