One of my favorite vacation places to travel to. Carmel is magical

Best place to rent e-bikes and go ride the 17 mile drive. They provide everything you need and have a great coffee shop upstairs
Mad Dogs and Englishmen
Fresh oysters and my favorite clam chowder. Try the half white and half red combined. Soo good I’m drooling thinking about it
A.W. Shucks Cocktail & Oyster Bar
My favorite little place to have wine in the heart of Carmel. Their logo is a girl in a bathtub holding wine. They have a bathtub for pictures too
Dawn's Dream Winery
If you are here during the week they have a 3 course meal that is reasonably priced and so good. I loved the salmon
Pangaea On Ocean Ave
Quaint little Italian restaurant. The veal was outstanding. My partner had the linguini with clams which was also good. We left amazed at how good our meal was
Carmel's Bistro Giovanni
We stayed here the day after our wedding. The rooms are new and the bed was so comfortable. Their courtyard is a great place to have wine and sit by a fire pit. They also make pizzas in the courtyard. The included breakfast were served in small bite...
Stilwell Hotel - Carmel-By-The-Sea Boutique Hotel in California
More reasonably priced than my other recommendation. This one we had a room with a fireplace. It was huge! The included breakfast is so-so but the location is perfect. I would stay here again
Normandy Inn
This is my happy place. If I lived here I would have a membership. There are no cell phones allowed and no talking. It is so peaceful. It is different temperature pools, a sauna, eucalyptus steam room and fire pits. Bring a book and enjoy hours of re...
Refuge
located in Carmel Valley. Beautiful grounds and fun courtyard to relax and try their wine. This would be a beautiful venue for a wedding too
Folktale Winery & Vineyards
Great way to try restaurants and get a tour of the town. Do this at he beginning of your trip so if you Like something you can go back for a meal.
Carmel Food Tours
This is the cutest boutique in downtown carmel. They also have reasonable prices. Last time I got 2 dresses and a pair of shoes. Go check them out!
