Carmel-by-the-Sea is known for its European-style downtown with locally owned restaurants, high-end boutiques, art galleries, and numerous wine tasting rooms along with its top ranked ‘Carmel Beach’ with its white sand, vibrant turquoise waters, and unspoiled cypress trees. Dogs frolic in the Pacific Ocean alongside dolphins, sea-otters, and surfers alike while the community can walk alongside on the beach on the well-kept scenic path.
​
Real estate ranges from unique, historic cottages to legacy beachfront estates. The selection of one-of-a-kind homes allows owners and visitors to revel in the array of architecture and styles, as most homes, if not all, are abundant with character and charm.
Our special town encourages slow meandering and a laid-back lifestyle.
For these reasons, many Hollywood names have taken up residence in this beautiful town. Stars such as Clint Eastwood, former mayor of Carmel, Doris Day, and Robert Louis Stevenson have called Carmel their home.
