Overview

  • You will coast from our city centre Carmel-By-The-Sea bike shop directly down to Carmel Beach to romp on the beach with your furry friend! Then ride along the Carmel coastline via Scenic Drive. You’ll sniff out landmarks like the Frank Lloyd Wright house, Tor House, Butterfly House, Carmel River State Beach, Clint Eastwood’s Mission Ranch, the Carmel Mission and Mission Trail Park, the original fairy-tale homes, and maybe Stillwater Cove Beach inside Pebble Beach Resort, with opportunities at every turn for sniffing.

    You will ride our premium e-bikes, and your dog will be in our custom handmade sidecars. These powerful, pedal-assisted electric bikes will allow us to cover a lot of ground. The e-bikes with sidecars also have throttles. We have two different-sized side car(s). Please tell us pet weight, breed, name, and which height rider might handle the side car. If you have more than one dog, specify if you think they’d prefer to be together in one sidecar or if you’d like two sidecars.

Activity itinerary

Carmel Beach

  • 10m
This is a short roll down the hill from the shop as a reward for your dog trying out this new sidecar experience, and what a reward it is! This leash-free beach full of dogs is on every dog's bucket list. There's also a packed DG trail looking down above the pristine, white sands.

Scenic Road Walkway

  • 20m
The most beautiful one-way road along the Carmel coastline. We'll pass the only coastal design by mid-century modern architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, the Custer-Meyer and and poet Robinson Jeffers' Tor House made of river-rock, the first original 100-year-old houses here.

Carmel River State Beach

  • 10m
This is another opportunity to maximise the California beach experience on a beach sandwiched by dynamic ocean waves and a calm, clear, fresh lagoon the river created. A bird haven, and therefore, a dog's ultimate joy! We'll look across the lagoon at Clint Eastwood's Mission Ranch, the 175yo original dairy farm for the whole peninsula, and our next stop.

Carmel Mission (Pass by)

We will pause at the beautiful and historic Carmel Mission Basilica, the crown jewel of the California Missions. Admission is free.

Mission Trail Nature Preserve (Pass by)

This part of the route takes us offroad away from city and residential and through nature. We will really appreciate the motors on the electric bikes. We may stop and stand amongst tall Coastal Redwoods or stroll on a narrow trail if you like. Our egress is at Flanders Mansion.

Fairy Tale Cottages of Hugh Comstock (Pass by)

As we make our way back through Carmel-by-the-Sea on our way to Pebble Beach, we can get a most memorable photo opp of your dog in the sidecar in front of these life-size dollhouses. With no additional charges.

Stillwater Cove Beach

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
The grand finale, Pebble Beach Lodge and Golf Links has one more beach opportunity after we park our e-bikes on the pier near the Beach Club and experience this aptly named pink sands and rocks for one last jaunt before returning to the shop.
