Carmel City Beach Access

Carmel City Beach Access at the foot of Ocean Avenue offers a sand-ramp entry point to one of California's most popular beaches, with 120 parking spaces (including ADA-accessible spots), restrooms, and an elevated boardwalk and view platform for accessible beach viewing.

The site features nine beach stairway access points along the Scenic Pathway, though stairways at 10th and 12th Avenues are currently closed.

Dogs are allowed off-leash under voice control, and propane-fueled fire devices are permitted south of 10th Avenue, making it a versatile destination for various recreational activities.
