The Carmel Mission - an easy 15-minute walk from our place.
One of our favorite places is Mission Ranch Restaurant, behind the Carmel Mission. Lunch or brunch on the patio is great fun. Clint Eastwood owns the place and keeps sheep there.
The outdoor Forest Theater is about a 10-minute walk from our place - or a 5-minute drive if you wish.
Downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea is 15 - 20 minutes from our place on foot, 10 minutes by car.
