Best place to launch in Los Alamitos?

[tomah]

hello, i was going to go out tomorrow to fish the Los Alamitos harbor. is there a good place to launch the kayak with all day free parking? the last thing i want to do is have to get off the kayak and pay the parking meter.

any help would be great! i was thinking of launching from where the kayak rental shop is. i believe the parking there is free. can anybody verify that is true?

Thanks!

Claremont St. Catamaran Launch - $10 -12 but you get to drive your yak to within maybe 60 feet of the water. You can also park on the street (if you can find a spot) and wheel your yak down the same path.


Cherry Beach - Metered parking for about $10 for most the day.

Further to the west there is:

Queen Mary Boat Launch (not the real name)- $12 and has a free wash down (bring your own hose)

Cabrillo Beach - $9 all day and bait barge within 1/2 mile of launch.

I am sure there are others but these are the ones I have tried.
