McAbee Beach
Saturday, May 26, 2007
This beach is located between the El Torito and Fishhopper Restaurants
and is easy to find. Entries are a breeze with small to no surf,
and a short swim will put you in 20 feet of water. The bottom near
the shore consists mostly of sand, giving way to rock and sand.
As one proceeds deeper a rock and boulder bottom predominates.
For those who are interested in sightseeing or photography, McAbee
can be a lot of fun. Sea otters are particularly friendly here
and will often swim up and check out a diver. Otters are one of
the more shy marine mammals, but they have grown accustomed to
divers at McAbee .
Plan to meet on the beach at 8am for a site briefing and then
get wet! Bring your total dive system and plan on 2 dives at this
lovely site. Parking is diagonally across the street ($10 all day).
Relax afterwards with food and shops within a few short steps.
All skill levels.
Free to Kelptomaniacs. $10 Non-Members
