S.F. Bay Area
Carmel-by-the-Sea
A Charming Weekend Getaway

Carmel-by-the-Sea is one of our favorite (and romantic) Bay Area Getaways. The nearby Monterey Peninsula is world-famous for its stunning coastline and
unparalleled scenic views. It's
no wonder that visitors flock
here from around the world.

Well-known for its picturesque white-sand beach and beautiful cypress trees, Carmel also has a myriad of cozy inns, quaint shops, art galleries, fine jewelry stores, gourmet restaurants — and
some of the best Golf Courses
in the world.

Other famous area attractions include Carmel Mission, Carmel Village, Carmel Valley, Monterey and its famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, 17-Mile Drive and Big Sur.

Special Occasion Getaway
Carmel is a fun place to come
for a Romantic Valentine's Day Getaway, a long weekend, or to celebrate a special occasion — Alana had her Bachelorette Party here, followed by a reunion seven years later.

VIP Corporate Golf Retreat
Only an hour or two away from
the San Francisco Bay Area, Carmel-by-the Sea is an ideal setting for a VIP Corporate Golf Retreat.

When To Visit Carmel
Its year-round temperate climate makes Carmel a great place to visit anytime of the year. Note that mornings can be foggy, especially during summer months. Dress in layers. FYI...it rarely rains between April and October.

If you're planning your first visit
to Carmel, be sure to take the world-famous "17-Mile Drive" —
its beautiful cypress trees and spectacular coastline views are absolutely breathtaking!

Enjoy a fun day of wine-tasting
in Carmel Valley's Wine Country —
a world-class wine and grape-growing region.
