Carmel-by-the-Sea, world renowned as an artist colony, has a wide variety of charming hotels and inns that are all within walking distance of Carmel Beach, and most of them are right in our quaint little village with its boutiques, restaurants and art galleries. Several inns are located in the quiet residential area of Carmel-by-the-Sea steps away from beautiful Carmel Beach.

Or visit Carmel Valley which has a more rural atmosphere with its wineries, golf courses, horse ranches, bike lanes, and parkland for hiking and horseback riding. Carmel Valley Village, 11 miles inland, also has many restaurants, wine tasting rooms, galleries and shops.
