Bay

Carmel Bay + Monterey Bay
are NOT the same bay.

Monterey Bay is MUCH larger
BUT
you want to be on Scenic Road
in Carmel-by-the-Sea
at Sunset.

Sunset in Carmel is
100% better than
Sunset in Monterey
because
if you are in Carmel
on Scenic Road,
Carmel Bay is to the west.
The sun sets behind
Carmel Bay
whereas
if you are in Monterey
looking at the M. Bay
you are looking N.E.
(better for sunrise)
