GETAWAYS • Carmel-by-the-Sea
At your own pace
One long coastal weekend at a time
Carmel-by-the-Sea is one square mile with no chain restaurants, no parking meters, and no real reason to rush. Mornings belong to scenic trails, dog-friendly beaches, and courtyard coffeehouses. Carmel has quietly transformed into a wellness retreat, too, with fitness studios and spas woven into the community. By night, the town settles into its favorite rituals: long, lingering dinners, performances at the acclaimed Sunset Center, beachside firepits. The best plans here tend to be the ones you don’t make.
