The quaint, walkable village setting and unique accommodations, white sand beaches and premium dining experiences give Carmel a mystique that makes a visit here unforgettable. What keeps people coming back? The shopping!
Carmel's central streets are lined with singular shops and galleries, and there are a number of shopping enclaves that provide exceptional options. The Carmel Plaza, centrally located in Carmel-by-the-Sea, includes 40 luxury brands and unique boutiques, and cafes. A recent rennovation has only increased its appeal and added standouts like Wilkes Bashford and Bottega Veneta.
The Barnyard and The Crossroads Shopping Villages, just two miles inland from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, include still more furnishings, clothing and gift shops, and some of the area's most popular restaurants. Both villages are set amongst award-winning gardens. Khaki's Men's Clothiers in The Barnyard fits the Northern California lifestyle perfectly, and nearby Brinton's is a home furnishings Mecca.
