There is little temperature variation throughout the year in Carmel as it benefits from a cool Mediterranean climate. Restaurants, hotels, and other retail establishments are dog friendly . . . So make sure not to leave them behind. Whether you’re visit is to experience one of the events or just to take in the local scenery, you’ll be glad you made the trip.
