[@jasenjahn]

Food, amazing. Shops are cool. Beaches are amazing. Point Lobos is insane. But the real reason we visit Carmel, frickin’ BIG SUR-the gem of California. You just can’t beat this coastline and scenery.

[@destinationdos]

Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and reasons for visiting; it’s always inspiring to hear from others who appreciate these stunning locations as much as we do! 😊🌊🌲

Beautiful place. My husband and I were there on vacation many years ago. We walked around and later took the 17 mile drive, but didn’t see all these beautiful art places and restaurants. Well, we stopped there for a short time on our way to San Francisco 😊. Thank you so much for uploading this video👍

Born and raised in the Bay Area. We love Carmel But just know, the accent is on the second syllable. It’s carMEL, not CARmel

Come visit Redding California for a river driven, outdoor experience. Fishing, cycling, mountain views and a small town feel. Access Mt. Shasta, Mt. Lassen within an hours drive. Coastal access only 2 1/2 hours away.

Thank you for the suggestion! Redding sounds like a fantastic destination. I’ll definitely keep it in mind for future videos-sounds like a perfect spot for adventure lovers! 😊🏞️🚴‍♂️

[@yakkyuu12]

I have been there many times, its beautiful and expensive! Skip the theater, acting - not very good, at all! Beaches are so nice, and downtown Monterey is full of great restaurants and beaches to drive by and stop to enjoy! I know this is an add for Carmel- but you can EASILY spend time in very short distances between Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel-- they are well worth the time!! The CARMEL mission is stunning --but , make SURE you check the schedule of when its open--- at this moment--CLOSED---MONDAYS AND TUESDAYS, WED & Thurs.-- only 10 am to 4pm, Fri. 7 Sat.-- 10 am to 5pm , Sunday-- 11:30 to 5 pm! This is such a beautiful place FULL of history, a lot to see on the grounds and inside!! I sadly have seen MANY PEOPLE -- not get a chance to go to the mission-- just because of the hours! So plan accordingly!

[@destinationdos]

It sounds like you've had quite a few memorable experiences in the Carmel area and its surroundings! Thank you for sharing your insights and especially the helpful tip about the Carmel Mission's hours. It's always a disappointment when travelers can't visit a landmark due to unexpected closures, so we really appreciate the heads-up. The beauty and history of the region are truly unparalleled, and your recommendations will undoubtedly be valuable to many! If you have any other favorite spots or tips, please feel free to share. Safe travels! ✈️🌊🌞

I love Carmel By the Sea. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you very much. Now I have a question. I saw the whole fish grilled at 4:50 min. on this video. Would you let me know where can I find that restaurant that has those whole grilled fish please. Thank you~

[@destinationdos]

Hi there! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Regarding the grilled fish at 4:50, while I can't recall the exact restaurant from that clip, a spot in the area where you can find grilled fish is Sea Harvest. However, I can't guarantee it's the exact location. I'll keep checking in our server and will let you know if I find the exact info! I hope you find the delicious whole grilled fish on your next visit! Thanks for watching and for your kind words! 😊🍽️❤️

I live in Salinas just 20 minutes North East and I gotta admit that we take where we live for granted We have people from all around the world coming here just to enjoy was seems close to paradise and here in Salinas we barely even go lol

Thank you for sharing that! It's easy to take the beauty around us for granted when it's right in our backyard. But you're absolutely right, Carmel and the surrounding areas are like a slice of paradise that people travel from all over the world to experience. Maybe your comment will inspire others in Salinas to explore and appreciate the incredible places so close to home. 😊🌍🌊

Bixby Bridge and Big Sur are not part of 17 Mile Dr.

[@destinationdos]

My apologies for any confusion! You're absolutely right, Bixby Bridge and Big Sur are not part of the 17 Mile Drive. I appreciate your attention to detail. In fact, we have a dedicated video about Big Sur coming out this weekend on my channel that showcases the beauty of the Bixby Bridge and the stunning landscapes of Big Sur. Be sure to check it out! Thanks for pointing this out, and I hope you enjoy the upcoming video. 🌉🌊📹

@destinationdos NP. I'm a local, so I just wanted to clarify. Otherwise, it's a nice video. You did well in highlighting the area. Thank you.

[@rock13fish]

Since you're pointing out flaws, that wasn't Bixby Bridge. That was Rocky Creek Bridge.

[@pauladuncanadams1750]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that the video brought back fond memories of your visit to Carmel. It's a place that truly leaves a lasting impression. If you do decide to go back, I hope you have an amazing time revisiting the sights and creating new memories. 😊🌊🌟

[@stratcat3216]

So, for whatever reason, we decided to dive there (scuba). it was BRUTAL.. the seas made most divers throw up before they could submerge. Beach access was brutal as the waves beat us into the sand. but.. the dive was incredible. Kelp forests with Seals all around.

[@destinationdos]

That sounds like quite the adventure! Despite the challenging start, diving amidst the kelp forests and being surrounded by seals must have been absolutely mesmerizing. It's amazing how beauty can be found even after facing tough conditions. Thanks for sharing! 🌊🐠🌿🌍

[@SuzanMiller-ou5kq]

I’m a swimmer and the pacific is just too cold for me.

[@destinationdos]

I completely understand where you're coming from! The Pacific Ocean, especially along the California coast, can be quite chilly. While it's not ideal for everyone, some swimmers still enjoy the invigorating experience. If you prefer warmer waters, you might want to consider visiting during the summer months when the water temperature is slightly warmer, or exploring other destinations with warmer seas. Thank you for sharing your perspective as a swimmer! 🏊‍♂️❄️🌊

[@nalveyna]

Great video! Interesting & informative. I was reading my Bible in the book of Jeremiah 46 verse 15 brought me here. Where the Lord mentions Carmel by the sea 🌊 I wanted to see for myself it truly is a beautiful place.

What is Carmel's safety like? My fiance and I are looking into having our Honeymoon there. Are there lots of homelessness? Should we avoid certain areas? Any hotels to look out for?

[@destinationdos]

Overall, Carmel-by-the-Sea is known for its safety and tranquility. While homelessness exists in the area like in many other places, it's not typically a major issue in the main tourist areas. There aren't really any areas of Carmel that you would need to avoid completely. Just be aware of your surroundings, like in any unfamiliar place. As for hotels, there are many charming and upscale options in Carmel, such as La Playa Carmel, L'Auberge Carmel, and Cypress Inn, among others. Reading reviews can help you find the perfect accommodation for your honeymoon. Congratulations and best wishes on your upcoming wedding and honeymoon! 🌹🥂🏨

The lack of addresses may add to the town's charm but trying to get/give directions adds to the confusion.

[@destinationdos]

I totally understand where you're coming from! The lack of street addresses in Carmel-By-The-Sea does make it a bit more challenging to navigate or give directions. Using landmarks and nearby businesses as reference points can be a helpful workaround. Thank you for sharing your perspective - it's always good to have a mix of views! 😊🗺️✨

Car-Mel-by the Pee… let’s be honest it’s not “pet friendly” it’s “dog friendly” and it’s cold and overcast even during the summer.

[@destinationdos]

I appreciate your perspective! You're right, Carmel-By-The-Sea is especially known for being "dog friendly" more than for any other pets. And yes, the coastal climate can bring about cooler and overcast conditions, even during the summer months. But many find that the milder temperatures and soft light make for a serene and picturesque setting, perfect for leisurely strolls and outdoor activities. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! ☁️🐶🌊

[@businessdoubt]

Oh, what a stunning place we have here! I mean, just look at the comments on this video. "It’s pronounced car-ME!" Because, of course, we all need a lesson in pronunciation from the locals. Honestly, if you’re that snobby about a name, I can only imagine how charming the residents are. I'm sure they butcher the names of places all over the country, but hey, their little bubble is all that matters, right? Yeah, I think I’ll pass. No amount of beauty is worth dealing with such delightful attitudes.
