Discover the Serenity of McAbee Beach

Getting There

• Walking

  Start at the center of Carmel-by-the-Sea, specifically at the intersection of Ocean Avenue and San Carlos Street. From here, head south down San Carlos Street until you reach 5th Avenue. Turn left (east) onto 5th Avenue and continue walking until you reach the end of the street, where it meets the beach access path. Continue straight along the path, which will lead you towards the coastline. Once you reach the end of the path, you will find yourself at McAbee Beach, known for its beautiful views and a small, sandy beach area.

• Walking

  If you are starting from the Carmel Beach area, walk along Ocean Avenue towards the ocean. When you reach the beach, turn right (south) and walk along the shoreline. As you walk, keep an eye out for the rocky outcroppings and piers. Continue walking until you get to the end of the beach area where McAbee Beach is located. This beach is tucked away near the 1 Hoffman Ave address and is easily accessible from the main beach path.

• Bicycle

  If you have access to a bicycle, start from the center of Carmel-by-the-Sea at Ocean Avenue. Head south and take the bike path along the coast. The path is well-marked and will lead you toward Monterey. As you approach Monterey, look for signs directing you to McAbee Beach. The beach is located at 1 Hoffman Ave, and there are bike racks available near the access points to the beach.
