The Pilgram's Way Books - Carmel, CA - Independent Bookstores on Waymarking.com

"Since 1969, locals and tourists alike have cherished Pilgrim's Way Community Bookstore allowing it to be the only remaining dedicated bookseller in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Pilgrim's Way features a wide variety of new titles and merchandise, the selection almost as eclectic as the town's residents. From new release best sellers to classics, personal growth to children's titles, it is always an experience exploring their shelves.

In 2001, Pilgrim's Way expanded into The Secret Garden, a delightful hidden oasis. The sound of fountains draws visitors into this charming garden shop with a collection of garden decor, plants, and assorted local-made gifts allowing explorers to bring the tranquility of Carmel home.

Under the ownership of the husband and wife team, Paul Fridlund & Cynthia Fernandes (who met and eventually were married in the store), Pilgrim's Way has become a thriving center for the community encouraging exposure to alternative ideas. "We pride ourselves on being a little different but, most importantly, independent through-and-through. Our selection is chosen with careful consideration. Many items are one-of-a-kind, hand-made (some by local artists), sustainable, made in America, and at a fair price."

This is the perfect location to stroll taking in the sights and sounds away from the day-to-day hustle and bustle. To educate, empower, inspire and enliven oneself while finding a special reminder of this seaside village. Find some adventure when you visit Pilgrim's Way Community Bookstore & Secret Garden at Dolores between 5th and 6th." (visit link)
