About This Beach
Carmel Beach is a pristine, white-sand crescent situated at the foot of Ocean Avenue in the charming village of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Known for its cypress-lined backdrop and the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links visible to the north, this dog-friendly beach allows canine companions to run off-leash. The beach offers excellent surfing conditions and permits beach fires in designated fire pits during specific hours. Its postcard-perfect setting and proximity to Carmel’s shops and restaurants make it a popular destination for both relaxation and recreation.
