Carmel Beach at Sunset

There is nothing more magical than walking to Carmel Beach at Sunset. Most Carmelites & their visiting guests can be seen, paper cup in hand, shuffling down the street headed westward to Scenic Road at 4:30 p.m.. All along the beach pathway, people in hoodies and parkas line up like blackbirds on a telephone wire. They stand at attention, or slip their toes through the white sand as they stare out at the sea. The sun slides under the horizon in an imperceptible splash.
