Holidays in Carmel

Tell your mates sorry not sorry if you don’t respond to their messages. You're about to explore the best bits of Carmel, Monterey! If you enjoy meeting the locals while on the road, Monterey is full of potential new BBFs. Around 28,000 people call this exciting city home. To get to Carmel from Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, climb in a taxi and head south for 90 kilometres. You'll find this neighbourhood 6 kilometres southwest of downtown Monterey.

This city is filled with glorious things to do, and you'll uncover many of them near Carmel. It's no simple task to pick the leading sights here, but Monterey Bay Aquarium and Fishermans Wharf are a couple you won't want to miss. The have-to-see sights of Point Lobos State Reserve and Carmel Beach are also on your doorstep. For a better perspective of this vibrant city as a whole, spend time in the nearby neighbourhoods of Pebble Beach and 17-Mile Drive.

The California State University Monterey Bay is certainly up there with the greatest attractions of Monterey. Reaching it shouldn't be difficult, as it's just 10 kilometres from the downtown area.

The city centre is also home to a multitude of sights to admire, such as Dennis the Menace Park and the Maritime Museum. Point Pinos Lighthouse and the Pebble Beach Golf Links are also among the area's greatest draws.

Travelling without the kids? The Galante Vineyards, the Scheid Vineyards Tasting Room, the Wrath Winery and the Blair Estate Tasting Room should be at the top of your itinerary.

While you might be able to see more and more art on the internet these days, there's nothing like inspecting the real thing. Explore the area's creative side by visiting the Monterey Museum of Art and the Monterey Museum of Art-La Mirada.

From hands-on activities to curious objects and artefacts, museums have something to keep all ages interested. If you get stuck with some bad weather, why not make your way over to the Presidio of Monterey Museum, the Pacific House Museum and the Presidio Museum?

Nothing beats the buzz of excitement when a show is due to start. Take your seat and watch the curtains rise at the Golden State Theatre, the Sunset Center, the Forest Theater Guild and the Golden Bough Playhouse.

Is your golf swing out of whack? Does your alignment need some correction? With impressive fairways like the Del Monte Golf Course, the Monterey Pines Golf Course, the Spyglass Hill Golf Course and the Poppy Hills Golf Course to play at, improving your game will be par for the course.

The Monterey County Fairgrounds, Smallsea, A Metropolis in Miniature, Jacks Peak County Park and Monterey Sports Center are excellent places to take the children for a fun-filled day of adventure.

Seeing waves crashing onto the shore can be quite comforting. Let your worries float away at Carmel River State Beach, San Carlos Beach - The Breakwater, Monastery Beach and China Cove.

Whether you're itching to recharge your batteries a little bit or hang out with some friends, the nearby urban parks are charming places to be. Take your pick from Lone Cypress Pine, Gravity Garden and Don Dahvee Park.

An excellent way to relive your holiday is by grabbing a couple of mementos. See what you can find at Carmel Plaza, The Barnyard, Del Monte Shopping Center and The Doud Arcade.

Learn some lessons from the past at a selection of the area's time-weathered sites, such as the Naval Postgraduate School, Tor House, the Cooper-Molera Adobe and San Carlos Cemetery.

Learn all about the region's spiritual aspects at Carmel Mission Basilica and Cathedral of San Carlos Borromeo. These attractions are worth going to whether you're a religious person or not.
