McAbee Beach can be used by beginners and experts, alike.  The easy entry leads to a large kelp bed just a minute off shore.  Several old pipelines create an artificial reef, making this a complete site for marine viewers!

In Monterey, heading West on Del Monte, bear right onto Lighthouse Ave, then bear right onto Foam St.  Make a right onto Hoffman Ave.  At the intersection of Cannery Row, you'll see the trail head.

McAbee Beach

Took a newly certified diver (13yr old son) for a nice, easy dive.  Parked in meter area (2hrs max) and had plenty of time.  Dove to 30 feet directly in front of El Toritos.  Saw lots of ling cod and a sea lion on the way back in.  Viz 20 max, light surge.
