Carmel-by-the-Sea Scenic Loop Walking Tour Part 2, Carmel, California

Part 2 of the Scenic Loop begins at the new public restroom at Scenic and Santa Lucia.

We are at the south end of Carmel Beach. Take a moment to look back at where you have been. Straight across Carmel Bay is Pescadero Point, the Lodge at Pebble Beach, and the Pebble Beach Golf Course.

Very shortly you will have a glimpse of the north side of a house built by Frank Lloyd Wright. Mr. Wright was in his 80's when he took on this project. It took him five years to build and it was completed in 1952.

Periodically this home is included on the Carmel Heritage Society annual June House and Garden Tour. I have had the privilege to tour the inside on many occasions. More pictures and history can be found at my blog post here.
