Quaint and full of restaurants, galleries and other shops, downtown Carmel is the best place to spend a morning or afternoon! Take a walk down Ocean Ave to the dog-friendly Carmel Beach or go on a self-guided walking tour of the Fairytale Cottages!
One of the best aquariums in the country! Take your time seeing otters, sharks, jellyfish and the famous kelp forest!
Accessible hiking just south of Carmel with incredible views of the ocean! Recommend going early to beat the crowds!
Drive through Pebble Beach, stop at the Lone Cyprus, and see some of California's most iconic coastline!
