Shopping in Carmel

The quaint, walkable village setting and unique accommodations, white sand beaches and premium dining experiences give Carmel a mystique that makes a visit here unforgettable. What keeps people coming back? The shopping!

Carmel's central streets are lined with singular shops and galleries, and there are a number of shopping enclaves that provide exceptional options. The Carmel Plaza, centrally located in Carmel-by-the-Sea, includes 40 luxury brands and unique boutiques, as well as an abundance of cafes. A recent renovation that included the addition of standouts like Wilkes Bashford and Bottega Veneta has only increased its appeal.

The Barnyard and The Crossroads Shopping Villages, just two miles inland from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, include still more furnishings, clothing and gift shops, and some of the area's most popular restaurants. Both villages are set amongst award-winning gardens.
