Chapel Square is Carmel’s compact, pedestrian-friendly plaza with modern architecture, seasonal fountains, public art and outdoor dining — great for street and urban plaza scenes, evening lights and event photography. Visit at golden hour for warm light and at night when uplighting and lit fountains create reflections. Easily accessible by car with nearby public parking garages and on-street parking; no entry fee. Weekends host festivals and performances — plan for crowds or capture atmosphere.
