Carmel Holidays

Carmel-by-the-Sea, or simply Carmel, is situated on the Monterey Peninsula and known for its natural scenery and rich artistic history. Carmel has inspired artists, sparked romances and attracted celebrities for decades, plus it consistently ranks as a top 10 U.S. destination. A European-style village, Carmel is nestled above a white-sand beach with everything in walking distance.  

What makes Carmel so unique is the creative culture of locals who take pride in offering one-of-a-kind items and experiences. The city has had several mayors who were poets or actors, the most famous being Clint Eastwood. It all lends to a place that feels familiar, but is very different.  Don’t expect to see street addresses, mailboxes, parking meters, or streetlights.  But do expect to be welcomed.  Mingle with the local winemakers, chefs, artists, innkeepers and shopkeepers – and pretty soon you’ll feel local too. 

If charm could be bottled, it would be bottled in Carmel.
