Things To Do
Monterey Bay Aquarium
We went here during our first trip together as a late Valentine's celebration, and it is still one of our favorite memories. With its captivating marine exhibits featuring playful sea otters and beautiful jellyfish, it's perfect for all ages. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, ideal for memorable photos. It promises a delightful and unforgettable experience to complement the weekend celebration!
Lafayette Bakery & Cafe
On one of the mornings during the weekend, stop by this quaint French bakery located in Carmel-by-the-sea for a fresh-baked baguette and a beautiful delicious pastry. This bakery has become one of our favorite and frequent stops when we are in the area. Enjoying a coffee and mini baguette sandwich by the beach is a great way to start off a day in Carmel!
Revival Ice Cream
If you're craving a sweet treat, come here! Try the Bees Knees, it's Cole's favorite (:
Carmel Sunset Beach
This beach is always a beautiful stroll and perfect for dog-watching! We have enjoyed several sunsets here. If you get a chance to watch a sunset, you might be lucky enough to also hear Carmel's bagpiper play "Amazing Grace" as the sun goes down. Truly a magical experience!
Carmel River State Beach
This is a picturesque stretch of coastline in Carmel. If you have time, find the magic bench and leave a note about your weekend while enjoying the beach!
