Home / Carmel (California) - Wink Travel Guide
Carmel-by-the-Sea, often called just Carmel, is five miles south of Monterey city in the Monterey Bay region of California.
Carmel is a beautiful oceanside town on California's Highway 1, complete with dramatic views, white beaches, friendly locals and great food.
A mostly upper-class destination for adults, the town itself is small – you can walk across the main part in five minutes – but filled with art galleries, cafes, restaurants and inns.
