McAbee Beach, the site of Cannery Row's second Chinatown, now relives its early days as an attraction for boaters and tide-poolers.

There are certain strange forms of sea life to be observed on this famous coast that Ed Ricketts might not recognize...

Corrugated tin canneries and warehouses, and the occasional reminder weed of the Row's older, literary fame.

Lights on in Ed Ricketts Lab--the Row's most famous historic and literary sturcture. Limited access except on Cannery Row Foundation tour days like Ed Ricketts' and John Steinbeck's birthdays make this unmarked and otherwise anonymous site one of the real rewards for those familiar with the Row's ecological and literary legacies.
