Tour Highlights

Travel in comfort aboard a luxury Best Tours & Travel motorcoach and enjoy a full day in one of the most picturesque destinations on the California coast.

Step aboard a luxury Best Tours & Travel charter coach and get ready for a day of coastal elegance, storybook charm, and timeless discovery! We depart from Clovis at 7:00 a.m., beginning our journey to one of California’s most enchanting destinations: Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Enroute, we’ll make a 30-minute rest stop to stretch, grab a snack, and breathe in the anticipation of the day ahead. Then it’s back on the road, with scenic vistas guiding us toward the sparkling shores of the Central Coast.

Tucked between pine-draped hills and the Pacific surf, Carmel-by-the-Sea is a one-square-mile village bursting with character and coastal sophistication. Begin your adventure at Carmel Plaza, a premier destination for upscale shopping and dining. Explore luxury boutiques like Kate Spade, Khaki’s of Carmel, Vineyard Vines, and Tiffany & Co. Savor lunch at one of the Plaza’s delicious eateries, from Asian-fusion flavors at Flying Fish Grill to local brews and California fare at Alvarado Street Brewery & Bistro.

Then, set off to explore the town’s fairytale charm—Ocean Avenue invites you to wander tree-lined streets and secret courtyards filled with fine art, fashion, jewelry, and home decor. A must-see stop: the Cottage of Sweets, nestled at the bottom of Ocean Avenue. With its storybook roof and candy-lined windows, it’s a whimsical favorite for sweet tooths of all ages.

And just a few scenic blocks past Carmel Plaza, the cobblestone charm gives way to natural beauty at Carmel Beach—a stunning stretch of soft white sand framed by cypress trees and crashing waves. Take a peaceful stroll along the blufftop trail, dip your toes in the surf, or simply take in the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. It’s a perfect moment to pause and let the coastal magic sink in.

At 4:00 p.m., we’ll depart Carmel, hearts full and shopping bags in hand, with a rest stop along the way. We arrive back in Clovis around 8:00 p.m., refreshed and inspired by a day well spent by the sea.
