I thought the grounds were gorgeous and the history very interesting, especially if you aren't stopping at other missions along the coast. The self-guided tour doesn't take long and is worth the stop.

This place is absolutely beautiful...wonderful inside and out...scenic and calming. Carmel is my favorite place and this is a beautiful spot to simply walk the grounds and view the ocean. Also, the inside of the church is so peaceful.
