That park is well above the water line and has rock rip rap, not good for a 'beach launch' as there's no beach. AND there's also no restroom, wash down area, etc... So while it's closer to the channel opening, it's only going to save you the few minutes that it would take to go from Baby Beach to the Jetty Park. Not worth it in my opinion.....

Doesn't make ANY sense to launch from the Rocks right there, unless you want to punch a hole in your kayak. Just stick to Kid's Beach or the CGS. You're only saving about 2 minutes in paddling, but will probably take an extra 20 minutes to get your kayak down into the water, if you can do so without slipping and cracking your noggin on the rocks. It just doesn't make any sense.

Kids beach is not ideal because it has that wall the runs across the entire beach, with steps to go down in order to launch. If you returned to that spot during incoming tide, you'll be in for a big surprise.
I think you can also launch from the small pier that's there. But it seems crowded at times. There's a nice launch / return spot just to the north of kids beach. No wash station or restrooms but my favorite launch site. |

Matter of a fact, I'm probably going to go there tomorrow morning for a simple morning fish if anyone is down. Maybe head out for some reds, and finish up in the harbor for some flatties. Anyone down? Bait barge is back!!

Do u have a map of this area north of kids beach? The wall at kids beach can be a challenge especially trying to launch a PA14.
