This quaint village is nestled in a pine forest above a spectacular white sand beach.
Discovering the restaurants, art galleries and a potpourri of shops is a true adventure as you walk down stone walkways, past wrought iron gates, through hidden courtyards with balconies and flowering window boxes and into secret hideaways.
Carmel Mission
Carmel's history and traditions of early California Bohemian founders remains in evidence today with the feel of small-town appeal.
The residential district has no sidewalks, no streetlights and no addresses; the cottage style homes are known by name only.
The City of Carmel By The Sea is also known as a "dogs' best friend". Owners and their four-legged companions can relax and be pampered at many of the inns and restaurants that welcome our canine friends.
