Carmel-by-the-Sea -known as a storybook village. It was first founded as a artist colony and has been an inspiration to many - such as Robinson Jeffers, Robert Louis Stevenson, Ansel Adams, Jack London and George Sterling, just to mention a few. A town of just one mile square specializes in Art galleries, fine dining, white sandy beaches and an occasional celebrity. There are no neon signs, very few three-story buildings or fast food restaurants in Carmel. It is home to gardens, Comstock buildings and a strong appreciation for all the "Arts". In 1771, Father Junipero Serra founded the "Basilica of Mission San Carlos de Borromeo" here. pop. 4,457
