"Carmel-by-the-Sea might be one of the most beautiful places in the U.S., apparent in its lapis-colored waters and rocky shoreline. This spectacular white-sand beach, located at the foot of Ocean Avenue, is a popular surfing spot. Visitors can enjoy a dip in the cool, crystal-clear waters with views of Pebble Beach to the north and Point Lobos to the south. Dogs are allowed off-leash with conscientious owners. Pack a picnic and a bottle of local wine (also permitted), and savor a magnificent California sunset in this seaside paradise." - Travel + Leisure Editors

The speech is absolutely beautiful. Pet friendly. Everything about it is serene. Right next to Pebble Beach golf course as well.

Amazing beach experience with a fresh breeze of cool air. One could experience the tranquility either by taking long walks on this beach or on the road that gives the same experience along with the view of beautiful homes on the side.

Highly recommend, dog friendly (off leash), soft white sand, spectacular views, and truly such an overall wonderful experience. Spent my honeymoon here and will definitely continue to come back. If you need a place to relax and let go of the world's troubles, this is the place to be. There are so many different spots where it drops down so you can access the beach. As long as you are patient, parking should be no issue.

Arguably Northern California's most beautiful white sand beach. Spotted thousands of these blue velella velella on the beach during a visit in March 2024

Absolutely beautiful beach. We swam in Monterey instead and had big regrets not swimming here! We also cooked dinner in our campervan and ate it on the beach here at sunset and it was amazing. Highly recommend coming down for the day with music and a picnic

Really nice beach with white sand. Beware, the majority of the intersections are using stop signs, even on the main road. As such, there will be extremely slow traffic.

Carmel Beach in Carmel-by-the-Sea is my perfect escape from the hustle of city life in Los Ángeles. The small town charm and peaceful atmosphere offer a refreshing break. The beach itself is beautiful soft sand, gentle waves, and a calm vibe that makes it feel like a quiet retreat. There's a simplicity to the place, where time seems to slow down. Whether it’s a peaceful walk along the shore or just sitting and enjoying the ocean breeze, Carmel Beach is a place I always look forward to for its calm and quaint atmosphere.
