CARMEL GUIDE
We spent a day in Carmel and absolutely LOVED this place! I had been here before when I was a little kid, but obviously didn’t truly appreciate this cute town! We first stopped in Carmel Village at this yummy restaurant called Basil. Next, we explored the town and went in all the cute shops and bakeries. The fog was rolling through and it looked so cool! It was kind of chilly when we went in the middle of June, so I recommend bringing a jacket with you just in case! It also rains a lot here too, so an umbrella might come in handy too 😉 After exploring the town, we hopped in our car and went on the 17-mile drive up the coast! It was the most beautiful scenic drive I’ve been seen!!! Everything was so picturesque, I was just oooing and awing the whole time! I wore the SOFTEST and comfiest sweater from Wildfox during our road trip and stay in Carmel!! It kept me really warm and I can seriously live in it because it’s sooo soft and cute! It is sold out already but I linked some more of my favorite sweaters from Wildfox below!
RESTAURANTS:
1. Basil- This cute restaurant is in the middle of downtown Carmel and tucked away in a quant building. I got the pork belly sliders with a spring salad, and my husband got the burger. Both were super tasty, and everything there is organic and locally grown which I love!
2. Carmel Bakery & Coffee Shop- They have a bunch of delicious pastries and drinks to choose from! The cannoli’s and cinnamon rolls are amazing!
3. Rocky Point Restaurant- This restaurant is located right on the beach, and has an array of different seafood dishes which is great for seafood lovers!
