Road Trip down the California Coast

Kicked off the New Year with a quick road trip down the Pacific Coast.

First stop was Carmel-By-The-Sea, the small and charming beach city nestled deep in the Monterey Peninsula . I stopped into the Village Corner for a warm chai before exploring the quaint little town.

Carmel Beach bustling with visitors on the sunny but brisk morning.

After filling up on a delicious breakfast, I jumped back in the car to continue my drive down Highway-1. The 25-minute drive down to Big Sur took me over an hour because of my need to pull over at every lookout point. And of course, I had to send the drone up for a bird’s eye view of the coastal landscape.

The beaches in Carmel are some of the cleanest I’ve seen.
