Things To Do
Famous Carmel Beachwalk and Scenic Road
Scenic Road is the main waterfront drive in Carmel-By-The-Sea. Along Scenic Road there is a walking path that follows the bluff at the back of the beach. This pathway makes for a great sunset walk or a return route after walking south on Carmel Beach. At the south end of the beach there is a set of stairs that goes up to the path. Several more stairways are provide along this road. Benches make it easy to stop at any time along the walk to enjoy ocean view.
Art Galleries in Carmel
Since the turn of the century, Carmel has been a haven for artists and a refuge for writers and intellectuals who shaped this unique artist colony. Whether you're an art enthusiast or admirer, Carmel is an exploration of nearly 100 art galleries within one-square mile, featuring the works of world-renowned artists and one-of-a-kind finds.
Shopping on and around Ocean Avenue
The fun of visiting Carmel is discovering the unique specialty boutiques, found on the wide main drag of Ocean Avenue, hidden on the charming streets, and tucked away in quaint courtyards and passageways. Strolling through town is like a treasure hunt that leads to one-of-a-kind shops that can only be found here, including artisan shops, jewelers, antique stores, and more.
17 Mile Drive
The 17-Mile Drive is famous for The Lone Cypress, a Monterey cypress tree that stands majestically atop a granite hill. The tree, which is over 200 years old, is one of the most photographed trees in North America. Along the way are scenic overlooks, wildlife viewing points, secluded beaches, and picnic areas overlooking the picturesque scenery.
