PT. Loma Kelp Launch Areas?
Is launching from Mission bay the best way to get to the Point Loma Kelp? Or are there any do able launch areas close to dog beach or anything like that?

Try driving all the way to the end of Cable St. in Point Loma. If the swell isn't big its not too shabby of a launch site. Its a very steep concrete pathway with a cobblestone beach at the bottom.

I've seen that spot on a map a while back and always wondered about it. Have you launched there? How is the parking?

Take a look here before driving down:
http://www.californiacoastline.org/c...gs=0&year=2010 A lot of detail in this photo - and you can see it is all residential parking. Early in the morning I would think you can find a spot and wheel your kayak down. Looks like a lot of flat rock in this photo - but the big question is the surf. |

I've checked this out and you're gambling big time that the waves may be O.K. The path to the beach can be tricky and again it's residential and could be a problem if you park in someone's spot.

Dragging a Kayak down the LONG sandy beach of Coronado does not sound like a fun trek. I remember doing that trek as a kid with my towel, boogie board and junk. Now you're saying Dog beach of Coronado that's the end by the Navy base right? The waves down there can be small for sure, there's some nice Halibut fishing off that beach there. I might give that a go.

That's why this beach is so kid friendly, surfers usually stay away from Coronado because the waves, well again there are no waves. However I have been there on days when a nice southern swell is coming in but again the break there sucks. No shoulders to ride and the waves close out fast. So most days this would be a good Kayak launch.
