With a storied past as an artists’ enclave that extends back to the early 1900s and drop-dead-gorgeous scenery, it’s not surprising that Carmel-by-the-Sea’s major industry is hospitality. The city is so quirky that there are no street addresses or home mail delivery (free post office boxes are available with proof of residency). There are also nearby neighborhoods within the city’s sphere of influence, such as Carmel Woods, Carmel Point, and Carmel Hills. but these unincorporated areas are served by the county government. For local event information, see the city calendar.
