It is a lovely, charming, romantic, cultured down, perfect for walking and window shopping. It offers everything from tasty cafes to quaint galleries, to natural beauty.

This is downtown Carmel, Carmel-by-the-Sea. Lots of places to eat, coffee shops, art studios, souvenir shops and at the end you find the beach.

This is the cutest strip ever ... charming shops and lots of coffee shops. You can drift along lazily all day and then end your day at the bottom of Ocean Ave at Carmel Beach, arguably one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!
