Long Beach Southeast CFM

Long Beach Southeast CFM stands out for pairing a Sunday marina setting with USDA SNAP access, a combination that shapes who can shop here and how often they can return. The market runs year-round at 6530 Marina Drive in southeast Long Beach, with Sunday hours from 9am to 2 pm. Its vendor roster spans certified growers, orchard fruit, strawberries, dates, honey, sprouts, breads, juices, yogurt, tamales, roasted corn, popcorn, and seafood, giving this market a broad grocery function as well as a prepared-food draw.

Why it matters locally

USDA SNAP access is built into the market’s setup, with shoppers using EBT cards to access benefits at Harbor Area Farmers Markets, including this Long Beach Sunday market. In California, that same program is Cal Fresh, which matters for households making regular produce purchases across the year rather than only during a short season. The market also participates in WIC on a regular, year-round basis, and FMNP funds can be spent from May through November. Another local function happens after shopping: Food Finders comes to each market, linking the weekly market routine to food recovery and distribution.

What you'll find there

The mix here leans heavily toward produce and farm goods, but it does not stop at raw ingredients. The Sunday lineup also includes bakery stalls, drinks, hot foods, specialty pantry items, and seafood, so a single visit can cover both market cooking and ready-to-eat pickups.

At this market, one clear thread is how strongly the food stalls reflect a wider regional and cross-cultural mix. The vendor names alone map out a route from Pupusas Salvadorenas and Pupusa's to Taste of Asia Dumplings, Podo Korean, Kenchan Ramen, and The Original Gourmet Tamales, with Claritea, La Jugera Fresh Pressed Juices, and Bonjour Yogurt filling in the drinks and lighter snack side of the aisle. That pattern matches the market’s ethnic_regional emphasis, which shows up not as a theme day or special event, but in the regular Sunday vendor mix itself.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change a marina outing plan before you leave home. The market runs on Sundays from 9am to 2 pm and operates year-round, so it is set up for routine weekly shopping rather than a short seasonal run. Restrooms are not available on-site. If you are a prospective vendor with hot food questions, market manager Kelli Johnson is the named contact for those discussions, which signals that prepared-food participation is handled directly rather than casually.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP is accepted here, and shoppers use EBT cards to access those benefits. In California, SNAP is called Cal Fresh. The market’s broader food-assistance lineup also includes WIC year-round, and FMNP funds can be used from May through November.
