It’s pronounced car-MEL. It’s not pronounced like the candy.
Thank you for pointing out the correct pronunciation! It's always important to get the local names right. I appreciate your insight and will make sure to say it correctly in the future. carMEL it is! 😊👍
That is how I pronounce the candy.
You forgot to mention The Tuck Box. Fabulous breakfasts.
I appreciate the recommendation! I might even consider featuring it in a follow-up video about restaurants in Carmel. Thanks for the tip! 🍳🥞😊

Good thing you said something i thought it was CARRMel
Beautiful place. My husband and I were there many years ago. We walked around and later took the 17 mile drive, we missed all these beautiful art places and restaurants. Well, we stopped there for a short time on our way to San Francisco 😊. Thank you so much for uploading this video👍
Thank you for sharing your experience! It sounds like you had a lovely time, even if it was just a short stop. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for your kind words! 😊🌊🎨

Food, amazing. Shops are cool. Beaches are amazing. Point Lobos is insane. But the real reason we visit Carmel, frickin’ BIG SUR-the gem of California. You just can’t beat this coastline and scenery.
Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and reasons for visiting; it’s always inspiring to hear from others who appreciate these stunning locations as much as we do! 😊🌊🌲
I love Carmel By the Sea. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you very much. Now I have a question. I saw the whole fish grilled at 4:50 min. on this video. Would you let me know where can I find that restaurant that has those whole grilled fish please. Thank you~
Hi there! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Regarding the grilled fish at 4:50, while I can't recall the exact restaurant from that clip, a spot in the area where you can find grilled fish is Sea Harvest. However, I can't guarantee it's the exact location. I'll keep checking in our server and will let you know if I find the exact info! I hope you find the delicious whole grilled fish on your next visit! Thanks for watching and for your kind words! 😊🍽️❤️
Thank you so much for this useful video 😂

In fact, we have a dedicated video about Big Sur coming out this weekend on my channel that showcases the beauty of the Bixby Bridge and the stunning landscapes of Big Sur. Be sure to check it out! Thanks for pointing this out, and I hope you enjoy the upcoming video. 🌉🌊📹
@destinationdos NP. I'm a local, so I just wanted to clarify. Otherwise, it's a nice video. You did well in highlighting the area. Thank you.

¡Me alegra mucho que te haya encantado el paisaje y la naturaleza en el video! Carmel-by-the-Sea es realmente un lugar hermoso y tranquilo. ¡Gracias por ver el video y por tu comentario! ¡Pura vida! 🌿🌊😊
I have been there many times, its beautiful and expensive! Skip the theater, acting - not very good, at all! Beaches are so nice, and downtown Monterey is full of great restaurants and beaches to drive by and stop to enjoy! I know this is an add for Carmel- but you can EASILY spend time in very short distances between Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel-- they are well worth the time!! The CARMEL mission is stunning --but , make SURE you check the schedule of when its open--- at this moment--CLOSED---MONDAYS AND TUESDAYS, WED & Thurs.-- only 10 am to 4pm, Fri. 7 Sat.-- 10 am to 5pm , Sunday-- 11:30 to 5 pm! This is such a beautiful place FULL of history, a lot to see on the grounds and inside!! I sadly have seen MANY PEOPLE -- not get a chance to go to the mission-- just because of the hours! So plan accordingly!
It sounds like you've had quite a few memorable experiences in the Carmel area and its surroundings! Thank you for sharing your insights and especially the helpful tip about the Carmel Mission's hours. It's always a disappointment when travelers can't visit a landmark due to unexpected closures, so we really appreciate the heads-up. The beauty and history of the region are truly unparalleled, and your recommendations will undoubtedly be valuable to many! If you have any other favorite spots or tips, please feel free to share. Safe travels! ✈️🌊🌞
That was a fantastic video presentation. You brought back so many memories to my visit dear greater than 20 years ago. Now I want to go back.😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that the video brought back fond memories of your visit to Carmel. It's a place that truly leaves a lasting impression. If you do decide to go back, I hope you have an amazing time revisiting the sights and creating new memories. 😊🌊🌟
I’m a swimmer and the pacific is just too cold for me.
I completely understand where you're coming from! The Pacific Ocean, especially along the California coast, can be quite chilly. While it's not ideal for everyone, some swimmers still enjoy the invigorating experience. If you prefer warmer waters, you might want to consider visiting during the summer months when the water temperature is slightly warmer, or exploring other destinations with warmer seas. Thank you for sharing your perspective as a swimmer! 🏊♂️❄️🌊
Love the narration. Very informative and well researched. 👏🏻❤️ Just went to Carmel last week. Will definitely go back, take my sweet time and savor every picturesque corners there is. 🥰
That's great to hear! We're really glad that you found the video informative and enjoyed your trip to Carmel. There's so much to see and do, and taking your time to appreciate its beauty is absolutely the best way to experience it. If there's anything else you'd like to know about Carmel or any other travel destinations, feel free to ask. Safe travels! 🌎🚗🏖️
So, for whatever reason, we decided to dive there (scuba). it was BRUTAL.. the seas made most divers throw up before they could submerge. Beach access was brutal as the waves beat us into the sand. but.. the dive was incredible. Kelp forests with Seals all around.
That sounds like quite the adventure! Despite the challenging start, diving amidst the kelp forests and being surrounded by seals must have been absolutely mesmerizing. It's amazing how beauty can be found even after facing tough conditions. Thanks for sharing! 🌊🐠🌿🌍
Elitist and Clint Eastwood is the biggest one.
Great video! Interesting & informative. I was reading my Bible in the book of Jeremiah 46 verse 15 brought me here. Where the Lord mentions Carmel by the sea 🌊 I wanted to see for myself it truly is a beautiful place.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it interesting and informative! It's always wonderful when people are inspired to explore beautiful places like Carmel-by-the-Sea. If you have any questions or need more information about Carmel or other destinations, feel free to ask. Happy travels! 🌊🌴😊

@@destinationdos okay thanks

Hello friend, Credit has been added to the video's description. I love your channel, keep up the great work! 😀

The lack of addresses may add to the town's charm but trying to get/give directions adds to the confusion.
I totally understand where you're coming from! The lack of street addresses in Carmel-By-The-Sea does make it a bit more challenging to navigate or give directions. Using landmarks and nearby businesses as reference points can be a helpful workaround. Thank you for sharing your perspective - it's always good to have a mix of views! 😊🗺️✨
The Lord Jesus bless you in your travels and keep you safe. May you have many exciting adventures!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Wishing you safe travels as well and many adventures ahead! 🌟🌍😊
@@destinationdos Thank you!
Nice video but the features of the town do not draw me to it.
Thank you for watching the video and sharing your honest thoughts. If you ever have any specific preferences or interests in mind for your travels, feel free to share, and I can try to recommend places that might align better with your tastes. Happy exploring! 😊🌍👍
Car-Mel-by the Pee… let’s be honest it’s not “pet friendly” it’s “dog friendly” and it’s cold and overcast even during the summer.
I appreciate your perspective! You're right, Carmel-By-The-Sea is especially known for being "dog friendly" more than for any other pets. And yes, the coastal climate can bring about cooler and overcast conditions, even during the summer months. But many find that the milder temperatures and soft light make for a serene and picturesque setting, perfect for leisurely strolls and outdoor activities. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! ☁️🐶🌊
How come there's a debbie downer out there? I was there in 1966 and it was absolutely gorgeous. The sun was shining. The Pacific coast is often gray. That's why we truly appreciate the sun when it's out!
@@daphnekivinen9482 I’m not a Debbie downer just want people to know what to expect instead having false expectations.
Its pronounced Kar - Mel..... Not Karmull....
Absolutely, I understand. It's worth noting that some previous comments have also mentioned the correct pronunciation as "Kar-Mel." It's a common point of interest for viewers. Thank you for adding your voice to the discussion! 😊🗣️👍
How to show you are a tourist - pronoun it CARmel (like the candy) not carMEL.
How to show you can't write or read - It's pronounCE not pronoun. Also, see previous comments. 😅
Learn how to say Carmel correctly it’s like Carmel sounds like now Mel Brooks Melvin Carmel not Carmel like Carmel candy
Thank you for the pronunciation tip! I truly appreciate the feedback and will ensure to pronounce it correctly in any future videos. Your input is invaluable, and I'm grateful for it! 😊🗣️👍
You would think you could at least pronounce the name correctly!
I appreciate your feedback! Ensuring the correct pronunciation is important, and I apologize for any mispronunciation. As already pointed out in the comments below, I am now aware that it's carMEL, not CARmel. Thank you for pointing that out, and I'll make sure to keep it in mind for future videos. Your input is valued! 😊🗣️
#8. Meh.
Thank you for sharing your opinion! Is there a particular attraction or location in Carmel-by-the-Sea that you would recommend and that wasn't featured in the video? Your suggestions are always appreciated! 😊🌴👍
