LJ Launch - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I hope I'm not beating a dead horse here, but is the LJ launch open yet? It's been a while since I've been out. I might head down there today just to check it out.

No you have to load up the beach wall a ways.

Thanks. By the restroom, then haul it to the kayak launch and over the wall? Or can we launch by the restroom with the launch being closed?

Wheel it as close as you can to the launch then put the yak over the wall and set it up on the beach.

Just keep an eye on the webcam, it tells the story....

I launched and landed right in front of the restrooms on Xmas day without any hassle.

Any word on when they plan to open it back up?

Looks like it will be closed for a while. They have all their equipment stored on the street and a pretty big pile of dirt/sand at the beach end.

Thank you for contacting the City regarding the project. Your question was forwarded to us - as we serve as the Community Liaison for the project.

The boat launch is closed through at least mid-February as the outfall structure at the end of Avendia De La Playa is being replaced.
There will be more work on Avendia De La Playa that will continue through mid-May but will not affect the boat launch, but may entail detours or traffic control through the village.

Hope that helps,
Vic Salazar
