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.

With stores like Coach and Sur La Table and restaurants like Il Fornaio, not to mention the many art galleries, check out the ritzier side of Carmel.

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.
