McAbee Beach

Love that I can see sea anemones and kelp that is in the aquarium in the wild here, it’s very beautiful to see things you’d think are only in the deep sea on the shore. Gorgeous views of the water too, a little small but it wasn’t horribly crowded when we went

A fresh scent of beauty lingers as the sands wash over by endless waves. Breathe taking place with many restaurants, shops, sweets to fill ones soul. Seeing the full moon in the background is a super plus. 🌕🤙🌴🤗❤️

Despite its size, this accessible beach is very popular. Right on Cannery Row. Accessible to tons of restaurants and a bathroom on nearby pier.

This beach is accessible from the main Cannery Row street thru a sandy park with a subtle but striking large tick painting. We enjoyed the sandy "park" amid the hustle and bustle of Cannery Row and descended the concrete steps to the beach below.

McAbee Beach is a nice little beach in Cannery Row that's main purpose is for tourists to be able to take a short walk down the beach without all the hassle of a traditional sized beach. I'm sure it has some historic reason for being there and having it stay the way it was since back in the day, but it serves its purpose well. No waves and a safe place to put your feet in the water without getting swept away. Sometimes there are little seashells and sometimes there are other cool things that washup on shore. This is the same beach where John Denver crashed his plane in 1997 just a little south of this beach (if you don't know who John Denver is, your parents are terrible people).
