Launching from doheny is really easy. Park in the lot that is south of the south jetty near the bait barge (paid parking) and wheel down to the spot that is right next to the jetty. There is practically no surf there since the jetty pretty much blocks the swell so stick close to the jetty until your out. Baby beach is good since you don't need to pay to park and launch from inside the harbor but if you want to fish outside of the harbor then the doheny launch is best since it shortens the paddle (the north jetty seems never ending at times).
