The last remaining bookshop in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pilgrim’s Way Community Bookstore & Secret Garden provides a refuge from the mundane. A certified green business with a stake in the community and the natural world around it, Pilgrim’s Way provides a diverse experience, from a mainstream collection of books to titles introducing alternative thought and ideas. Next-door at the Secret Garden, guests discover a bounty of unique, sustainable and often American-made garden and gift items that help create memories of Carmel and its natural surroundings.

Located on Dolores St. between 5th & 6th
