The 5 Best Scenic Walking Areas in Carmel, California (CA)

May 6, 2022 Leonarda Pillsbury

The first thing you need to know about Carmel: Clint Eastwood used to be the mayor, so don’t come here if you’re a hooligan. But if you’re after a romantic getaway to a seaside, art-filled village, Carmel might be perfect for you. You can even bring your dog—Carmel’s hotels, restaurants and galleries are remarkably Fido-friendly.

Ocean Avenue

My wife and I are the big fans of succulent plant, and we found Carmel-by-the-sea has one of the most beautiful displays of succulent plant in the US (probably the world?). We have travelled the world and to our surprise this little town is probably one of the most charming we have visited. The charming area stretches from 5th Ave to 7th Ave from north to south, and Monte Verde St to Junipero St from west to east. If you happen to have limited time and have to choose between Carmel, Monterey or Santa Cruz, I reckon Carmel is your best choice (definitely lose Santa Cruz due to lack of character in comparison). We glad we have made the right choice!
