Carmel-by-the-Sea

Old Town · Carmel-by-the-Sea, California

A one-square-mile village founded by artists and writers in 1902 and still governed by their rules — no street addresses, no traffic lights, no neon, no billboards, and no mail delivery, so residents collect post at the office and know their neighbours by doing it. Cottage-lined lanes drop through a hundred art galleries to a white sand beach where dogs run free.

Ocean Avenue, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, 93921, United States

Village open always. Shops typically 10 AM - 5 PM. Free 2-hour street parking.
