hahhaha...look at all those kayak launch sites...i cant believe that everyone is crying about closing LJ when we have all those easily accessable launches right there at the sunset cliffs....



ummm yeh if you have a crane or... if you don't mind carring all your equipment down dirt goat trails on a 60-80ft cliff, then launching from rocky, slippery reefs (usually not much sand) and larger surf...one of those sites has stairs but it is hard enough to get a longboard down them, I'm not sure I could even carry a 15ft, 50lb kayak down those stairs or trails, and i'm young and stupid!!

ohh yeh, then you gotta get back up?? i'm guessing only %10 of the guys that use this forum could actually physically pull a fishing trip out of those "launches"....and I'm not one of them!!!!

Sounds like non-discriminatory public access to me!

Those are all good snorkeling or scuba diving access sites. Kayak launching... not so much. Who made up that map?

this is from the marine map decision tool found here

What is MarineMap?

MarineMap is an online mapping tool developed to assist in the design of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative process.
Quote:
Why MarineMap?

MarineMap assists South Coast Regional Stakeholder Group (SCRSG) members in the design of MPAs by allowing them to view oceanographic, biological, geological, chemical and human dimensions of the ocean and coastal areas. MarineMap provides easy sharing of MPA ideas, and reports on how well individual MPAs and arrays of MPAs meet various guidelines set by the Master Plan Science Advisory Team (SAT) to help meet the goals of the MLPA.

I have launched several times from Orchard and Bermuda streets. It is a pain in the ass, sketchy and almost not worth the difficulty. It can really only be done a few days a year at mid to high tide with very little swell. Proceed with caution.
