Carmel-by-the-Sea Day Trip Itinerary
Decided to jump in the car and take a COVID-friendly spontaneous day trip to Carmel-by-the-Sea! It was my first time there and it did not disappoint!
We had a super laid back day and I 100% recommend doing exactly what we did if you need a little beach escape! Enjoy!

We brought @loulou_thepompom so needed to find a dog friendly restaurant! Ate at Rise & Roam and had delicious pizza and vegan treats on their sunny patio! ๐คค๐๐ชโฃ

Walked down the hill to the beach! The beach was overcast (so bring a sweater!) and also pretty packed so didnโt stay too long! Just took a stroll and enjoyed the gorgeous view! ๐โฃ

Walked back up to the town and went shopping through all the stores! Bought an adorable locally hand painted Christmas ornament at Kris Kringle of Carmel to add to the travel ornament collection!
