Sundays in Carmel/Monteray

Can someone just let me know whether shops/restaurants etc are open on a Sunday. Living in London you get so used to things being open that it has just occurred to me things there might be shut. We are driving up from LA on the Saturday and staying in Carmel for 4 nights before heading back to LA. Many thanks

No problem on Sunday--pretty much everything is open.

Thanks for reponding back PGD - you are a mine of information. If you ever come to London, I can always give you some handy tips/advice. Thanks Janet

How late are the stores open? We were there in 2002, and I seem to remember everything closing fairly early. Am I remembering correctly?

Shops probably close around 5:00 on Sunday at the Plaza and downtown Carmel. Most of the restaurants are open and several do very nice Sunday brunches, such as the Mission Ranch. They also have a jazz band there on Sunday. Katy%26#39;s Place also is very good for breakfast, I know they are open on Sunday. I hope you have a nice time in Carmel, and please report back here with us after your trip! :)

Jbillin is right--shops in Carmel do close down early--5:00 on Sunday, generally speaking. Starbuck, I made my first visit to London in December 2005 and loved it--what a beautiful city. I hope to get there again and will take you up on your offer for advice. Thanks!

Once again thank to you all for your help. Messages for jbillin - in London the main shops big shops and dept stores open 12-6. This might not sound great to you, but there was time in London that almost nothing opened on a Sunday. The law was changed and now shops can stay open for six hours only - they tend to chooose 12-6 but the supermarket do 11-5. Restaurants/pub etc. normally are open all day as they are not restricted by the same shop hours. Syragirl - I will definitely let you know who our trip goes. We are counting down the weeks and I am busy getting fit and saving! PGd - glad you liked London. It gets better all the time and unfortunately more expensive too!
