Carmel by the Sea

Carmel by the Sea One of the most awarded destinations in the U.S. You can fine-dine at a number of four-star restaurants or eat al fresco at the beach.

Carmel by the Sea is a place to get away from it all without sacrificing the big-city offerings of art, theater, music, dining, shopping, spas, and more. You can collect art or just covet art and artifacts at almost 100 galleries and antique shops, and you can buy anything from trinkets to Tiffanys. Even those who travel the world are unlikely to encounter another place that has so much to offer in one location.
