Carmel River State Beach

Day use only

No. It's free

Be brave.. just sleep in your car...bring extra cash 4 the small fine.. cheaper than staying in a hotel...🤗😃🤗

Yes, but there are signs that say for exercise only. No beach chairs allowed and masks and social distancing are enforced.

Any time of the year. Carmel is always beautiful. Enjoy. 😊

Camellias, begonias, cyclamen , ceonothis (wild lilac), agapanthus, sedum

No

Yes, it is

Not sure but I saw people doing it from their tailgate in the parking lot

There's some people that would say it is, I did not see any dogs when I was there.

Absolutley not!!

Yes and plenty of fish to be caught.

Yeah

Yes.

It could be anything but probably "not cold." Beware the riptides!

Last time I was there a couple had two kayaks in where the river pools, which is near the parking area.

It's awful, sorry to say. You really need to look into the spots that allow public access to the area where the wedding is held. There may be a limited amount of parking available at one of the stairwells. All in all... It all comes down to, the location of your event. It's a big beach which has been sectioned by natural barriers to certain parts. It's a great beach to walk and explore, but parking is the absolute pits.

Contact the local Surfrider chapter.

It is to prevent flooding of the Carmel river during the rainy season. You can access the trail from Monastery Beach down highway 1

Dogs rule. Dogs are deities in Carmel😆

Sorry, there not.

I haven't seen grills or anyone b-b-qing there. So not sure

No cost. May need a special chair to get access to the beach

No fires

Great beach for picnics or lots of small charming places to eat

Please avoid scaring the birds...Thanks

No

The gate to the parking lot is closed at sunset, but you can park nearby and walk the beach later.
