Carmel — A Shopper's Paradise
Carmel is a shopper's paradise. Although Ocean Avenue is the
most popular with shoppers, we prefer Carmel's little side streets and its secluded courtyards and alleyways — they're crammed with quaint specialty shops, boutiques, jewelry stores, art galleries, restaurants and Mom & Pop coffee shops.

If you're looking for something unique, be sure to check out
Jan de Luz, located on Delores and Seventh Avenue.
