Carmel Beach
At the foot of Ocean Avenue, Carmel Beach is one of the most iconic spots on California's Central Coast and is rated "One of America's Top Beach Towns." Dog & Surfer-friendly!
17 Mile Drive
Follow 17-Mile Drive’s red-dotted line for 17 miles of dramatic coastal cliffs, snow-white beaches, forests and iconic golf courses. Admission to 17-Mile Drive is $11.25 per vehicle (they will give you a driving map at the starting gate).
Big Sur
About 40 minutes (25 miles) south of Carmel is Big Sur. If you haven't done Big Sur, it's worth tacking on to your trip! 70 miles of coastline, amazing hikes, breathtaking views, and be sure to make time to stop at our favorite restaurant, Nepenthe!
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve
Long considered the “crown jewel” of California's 280 state parks, Point Lobos State Natural Reserve is perfect for a long beach walk/hike. Pack a picnic and catch some stunning views of the California coast.
La Bicyclette Restaurant
Delicious French-Italian fare. Reservations required, or walk-in for breakfast!
Cultura Comida y Bebida
Innovative & super delicious Oaxacan cuisine! Bre & Carey had their first 'Friday Night Date Night' as fiances here, courtesy of our friends, Lindsay and Eric! Reservations required.
Stationæry
Great spot for brunch or lunch! (There's also a coffee shop hidden on the side if you want to skip the line/wait-- we're pretty sure this is the only place that sells cold brew in Carmel, and don't sleep on their house-made pastries!)
Carmel Belle
Casual, counter-serve cafe great for breakfast, coffee & pastries with all locally-sourced meals & drinks!
Il Tegamino Restaurant
Italian Restaurant with a charming vibe that specializes in Italian Comfort Food (YUM) from Chef Giuseppe Panzuto's hometown of Napoli, Italy. Reservations required.
Albatross Ridge Tasting Room
One of the many amazing tasting rooms in Carmel! Family-owned and specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Wrath Wines Tasting Room
Wrath produces small batch, limited distribution Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Sauvignon Blanc from their vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands.
Caraccioli Cellars Tasting Room
Small, intimate tasting room for a family-run winery-- one of the few with great sparkling wine options-- for tastings and light bites.
Pebble Beach Golf Links
The easiest way to reserve a tee time is to book a stay at The Lodge at Pebble Beach, The Inn at Spanish Bay, or Casa Palmero hotel-- otherwise, you’ll be taking a chance on availability (you can otherwise only reserve your slot 24 hours in advance). But come on, it's one of the most stunning courses in the world!
Other Courses In and Around Monterey
Pebble Beach Resorts is also home to The Links at Spanish Bay and Spyglass Hill Golf Course, but you'll still need a night at the resort to secure your tee time. Pasatiempo Golf Course is another easier-to-book option, or check Pacific Grove Golf Links for a more affordable option-- both still with some spectacular views!
