Looking for legal spots to launch in Orange County
I just got my new kayak on Wednesday this week, a Vibe Shearwater 125. Thing looks absolutely gorgeous. I am still waiting on the pedal drive to get here, but I was hoping to take it out this weekend. I have some things to do in the afternoon, or I'd make the drive down to San Diego, apparently that is where the sane people live.
Does anyone know a good parking/launching spot that is technically legal in Orange County? It is a lot closer of a drive for me for a half day out. Any help would be appreciated. Not particular about the fishing, I really just wanna get out there to test out the new yak. My thanks for any information you can provide... even if its just that I have no hope. |

Huntington Harbor might be a good option

I know Newsom is losing his mind with all the orange county beaches, so I just assumed the harbors and everything would be closed as well. |

There is a little spot at HH just south of Edinger with pretty good access. Might be a good place to put in

I launch from the coast guard station in Newport harbor all the time. Easy free parking and a little beach to launch from. Right now you have to park on the street and wheel your kayak over (less than 100 feet still). Now that fishing is allowed Im most likely going Monday if you would like to join me!

Lower Castaways Park in Newport at the Coast Hwy and Dover. A long paddle to the open water, but you have the upper bay to the left and open fishing to the right. Cops don't care about launching there.

Los Alamitos Bay is a good place to test out a new rig. I think the boat launch is closed or at least it was but there is plenty of residential parking that will not be closed and you are allowed to cross the beach to launch.
No waves so easy launch and landing. Lots of dink bay bass as well but I usually paddle out to the break water also known as the wall if I fish that side. It is just north of Seal Beach. Green areas are good launch spots. The blue is the normal spot but I am not sure if the parking lot and launch ramp are open. |
