Our 36 hour getaway to Carmel (by the Sea) from San Francisco was the perfect weekend spot, that I thought it deserved it’s own travel guide and blog post 🙂 It’s truly a coastal storybook town that’s charming, quaint, and unlike any other! It was my first time and we loved every second of it. Today I’m sharing what we did and what is a MUST if you visit Carmel!

All you really need in this cute town is a weekend! It’s small and quiet but a weekend getaway is the perfect time! Here is a full weekend itinerary for you:
FRIDAY EVENING:
-watch sunset at Carmel Beach at the end of town
-dinner at La Bicyclette (charming Italian restaurant in town)
SATURDAY:
-brunch at Village Corner Cafe (order an omelet and pancakes)
-rent ebikes at Mad Dogs in town and follow their map to ride the 17 mile ride (took us about 2ish hours)
-walk along Scenic Dr (you can walk about 1.5-2 miles each way and check out all the unique houses)
-happy hour at Spanish Bay outside (the bagpiper starts playing on the 18th green every evening 30 min before sunset, don’t miss this)
