Mortuary Beach =
Cemetery Beach (yes, it rhymes)
Nicknamed by locals because so many out-of-town visitors (that would be "YOU") have drowned at this beach.
While not in the one square mile that comprises Carmel-by-the-Sea (this beach is on Highway 1 on the way down south to Point Lobos and Big Sur) it is important enough to make an exception and include mention of this exceedingly dangerous beach.
Look across Highway 1 - if there is a 1920s Spanish style monastery (actually, a convent) on the inland side of the Highway, you are at Monastery "cemetery" Beach.
So just how dangerous is it? If you Google the words:
Carmel Monastery Beach drowning
Google will come up with over 100,000 articles:
