Looks like there will be a few of us out there this Sunday. Where is everyone launching from?

I usually launch from the Coast Guard station. On weekends you're allowed to park on both sides of the parking lot, but it fills up pretty quickly. I've gotten there around 7-7:30 and the lot was already full. I believe you're allowed to park there as early as 6 am, but don't leave your car there any earlier than posted time. I know people have been ticketed.

I didn't know there were certain time you could park there only not to park on the station side thanks for in the info. I will probably be launching on the other side of the harbor from a small beach "KID BEACH" on balboa peninsula where the last public dock is before the wedge. Usually pretty easy to find a close parking spot in you get there early but there isn't much since its street parking. A little easier to get in the water here since it very close to street but minimal parking and no bathrooms.

They will cite you. I know from experience. Launched at 5:30 and came back to a hefty fine.

Kid's beach is a nice quick launch. Never had trouble finding parking if I get there before 8. If you do have to park too far away, no one seems to mind if you pull up to the red zone to load and unload.

Most important advice I can give is to never under any circumstance call it "the newps."

Can you park on the street outside the coast guard station before 6 am? As far as I remember you can park there but I don't remember if there is a sign that says parking between set hours. I've never had to park outside the station
