If thats your destination, you might beach launch from within the harbor, off Claremont. That would mean humping your rentals over to a metered lot at Bayshore and Ocean -- and a ramp across some the sand beach where they accommodate cat's and kiters. May not be practical without yak wheels or a pickup so getting rentals there might not be doable. I don't know if they rent over on the harbor side, possible.

Beach lauch within breakwatered area. Lots less a paddle to open space/non-marina area. May find a lot of kiters etc. Closer to the breakwater/seals.
