Rated "One of America's Top Beach Towns," Carmel Beach is one of the most iconic spots on California's Central Coast. Whether strolling along the Scenic Bluff Path to Carmel River Beach or just enjoying the pristine beach conditions and warm, sunny weather, Carmel Beach offers picturesque views filled with outdoor recreation. Learn how to catch a wave with surfing lessons or stay on land and compete in the Sand Castle contest. Play a match of beach volleyball or gaze out to the crystal-clear water and watch the dolphins jump. Carmel Beach is one of the few California beaches that allow alcohol and dogs off-leash, so pack up the cooler and the pups and stay the day. When the sun goes down, Carmel Beach lights up with smoky bonfires along the sand. Gather with friends and enjoy a perfect sunset right on California's coast.
