Newport PCH Bride launch?
 

I know of the Coast Guard Station, 15th street, and Newport Dunes ($10-$14 !!!)

Anyone know of a place to launch by the PCH bridge? Going back on Fri. pm

Thanks, Matt

Southwind Kayaks wont allow public launch there byt the bridge. its for there customers only (as per the guy i spoke to who told me i wasnt allowed to launch there...)

Go the the Newport aquatic Center, its like 1/3 a mile back into the back bay, its a very close paddle to the bridge there.

Gimo is right with the Newport Aquatic Center. That is where I launch from; here are the directions:

Thanks for the info on the Aquatic Center.

Their website says that they close at sunset. Do they lock up the parking or can I come in later?

No gates
 

They close the aquatic center but the parking lot has no gates. You should be fine

i hear they are strict on hours but they dont have a way of locking anything up. So im sure you could skip a few hours in. but i wouldnt know i dont launch there.
