Carmel is beautiful, but very expensive. You can tell it is a well taken care of town, but stores and restaurants close early, or are not open at all during the week. Very cute to just walk around and admire the houses, and the beach is lovely.

Carmel is a beautiful safe place to stay. The beach was within a short walk, although down a steep hill. The beach is pretty clean and the shops nearby are very cute and have lots of cool things in them.
