You must be cutting through someone's back yard....

I see Winamar, but no access to the beach. Also looks like you need to pay close attention to the tides.

Look a little closer.... It's there.... Shorebreak can be a little tough occasionally and I've come back to 3' waves crashing onto the beach after launching through ankle slappers. Sometimes bigger...

: ) LOL. You are in the right spot.

There is 4' wide cement walkway between houses just north of the end of
Winamar. See just north of the smaller pool house in this picture - can't
see them but there are 3 wooden stairs and then a drop of between 1 and
10 feet to the sand.

The sand moves in and out all year. Right now there is plenty of sand,
the drop is only maybe 4 feet vertical ...

Kayaking conditions look to be super ideal for this whole week, and, thru
the weekend too.

I'm trout fishing on Saturday, but perhaps Sunday I will launch early at Big
Rock, and those interested and on time (6 am) with kayaks can caravan
out to go catch rockfish.

Anyone interested send me a PM.

P.S. I recommend pedal drives, its a long way out and I tend to move
pretty fast.
