Flights
The closest airport to Carmel / Pebble Beach is Monterey (MRY). Fly here directly from SFO, LAS, LAX, SAN, DEN, and PHX. It is about a 20-minute ride from here to Carmel, Monterey or Pebble Beach.
The next closest airport is San Jose (SJC) which is served by all major airlines from most major cities. Depending on the time of your arrival, expect about a 1 hour and 30 minute drive to the Monterey Peninsula.
Two other options are San Fransisco (SFO) or Oakland (OAK) which are also served by most major airlines. Expect at least a 2 hour drive from either to Monterey.
Ground Transportation
If flying into MRY and staying in Carmel, you may not need a rental car given the proximity to restaurants, shops and the beach. If necessary, a Lyft or an Uber can get you where you need to go.
If flying into an airport other than MRY, or if you plan to explore the area, use Kayak to search for the best deals on cars.
