Salt Creek Beach

Anyone ever try to launch from here? It is popular for surfers, so I'm a little hesitant in tackleing 4ft+ waves. I'm too lazy (out of shape) to row from DPH up there. It's like 1.5 NM or about an hour and a half for me.

Is there better places south of Laguna?

When I lived in OC I launched out of Salt Creek once. Even with a good kayak cart it's a LONG way up and down that access road. When I reached the beach a life guard told me that "I don't have to let you launch here". He did let me launch but I suppose he could have sent me back up the road dry. Surf launch was tough but doable. Paddled to the kelp and didn't get a bite as I recall. Dicey landing and a long ass trek back up the hill. I'll try about any thing once but I never did go back. There are places to launch in Laguna but most involve going down a bluff or stair case and parking can be a drag. Mike

We all get out of shape. I'm trying to shed 30lbs
now. There's no better way than to paddle from the
marina. Leave in the am, and the wind will push you
home in the pm.

You can launch from Salt Creek, but only when the
surf is small, and at the very north end of the beach.
However, that's a long walk.

but common on, don't you want to look like that stud
in your avatar?

Do you go south out of fishermans cove or North along the coast? I've launched out of Crescent Bay and headed North to Crystal Cove, either way good fishing? Thanks!
