Carmel River State Beach

Carmel River State Beach

Carmel River State Beach and Park is mile-long beach with a lagoon formed by the Carmel River. The lagoon attracts a large number of migratory birds. The state park includes Monastery Beach, (also called San Jose Creek Beach) which is popular with scuba divers. Swimming on this section of the coast can be extremely dangerous because of the strong currents. The park is located about one mile south of Carmel on the north end of the Big Sur coast in Monterey County, California.
