Cardiff
I spend alot of time in all the North County parking lots. From what I've seen, if the kiosks are not manned, the Cardiff lot, and the North end of San Elijo day use lot are the only lots you need to either pay, or have day use to park year around. My guess is the close proximity to the campground, and that ability to get your $$$ is why these lots are not free. The Ponto, and the Seaside lots are free as long as nobody is in the kiosk. That includes arriving before the kiosk is open.
There is a nice launch @ Seaside. I've launched, and seen other guys launch through some pretty big surf. You need to watch the tide because the beach is disappears at high tide, and you have to believe that the right hander coming right at you will back off into deeper water.
A whiteknuckler, E ticket for sure!!!
