Overview
Explore Carmel-by-the-Sea, a coastal village known for its storybook cottages, hidden courtyards, and artistic heritage, on a self-guided audio tour that plays automatically as you walk. Starting in the village center, you’ll follow a walkable route through charming streets, tucked-away passageways, and local landmarks. Along the way, visit places like the Tuck Box, El Paseo, the Carmel Art Association, and Pilgrim’s Way Bookstore, while uncovering the town’s history and its collection of whimsical architecture. You’ll also discover the courtyards, gardens, and small details that many visitors walk past without noticing. Explore at your own pace—pause for a coffee, browse galleries, or wander into a courtyard. The audio resumes whenever you’re ready, so you can take your time without keeping up with a group. This is a self-guided experience (no in-person guide). Download the tour in advance and use it anytime—it works offline and follows your location along the route.
