This is a response I received from the Harbor Patrol when I was told I had to be 300 yards off the beach in a particular town, by a Harbor Patrol boat.
This type of restriction may be imposed by a local government entity under the provisions of Harbors and navigation Code section 660 (a), which allows local entities to adopt regulations in four areas that do not conflict with state law. They include : setting time of day restrictions, setting speed zones, establishing a “special sue area” (where all or a portion of a waterway under the jurisdiction of local entity may allow or prohibit a specific activity if it is incompatible with another activity), and sanitation and pollution control. |

I can only speak for the areas in San Diego that are under the watchful eyes of the Lifeguards. Kayaks can be launched just about anywhere except in locations that are designated as swimming areas or the very few areas, (La Jolla Cove for example), where floating devices are not allowed. Designated surfing areas are OK.
Believe it or not, it is legal to launch a kayak at the Children's Pool, (now known as the seal reserve where Children are no longer allowed to swim). You just cannot interact in any way with the seals. Exactly who is charged with deciding what "interaction" is or enforcing that regulation is unclear. I suspect that most other cities and counties have similar regulations. Bob |

Up here in OC, DanaPT, you can launch anywhere that is not blackballed by lifeguards.

I asked this question of the lifeguards a few years ago & you are generally allowed to launch & land unless it poses a safety hazard to others in teh water. Use common sense, don't launch amid the firstgraders on a field trip to the beach.

Beach Launching
I was told at the lifeguard office that kayaks could not be launched at Bolsa Chica State Beach. WRONG! I called the State Parks office in San Clemente and was told that "human powered" boats/kayaks/paddle boards, etc could be launched there. The VERY nice lady mailed me a list of beaches in Southern California that are restricted and those which are not. To date, approximately two out of three lifeguards I have asked are ignorant of the rules. I keep the list in my truck. Call for list.
Hope this helps. Orange Coast District (949) 492-0802 San Diego Coast district (619) 688-3260 |

DanaPt,
I just read in another thread you have a motor. That negates what I posted earlier. With your motor you become a motor vessel, complete w/ boat registration requirements (CF#'s) and are NOT allowed to launch where ever you like. You need to be at a launch ramp, or legal beach launch (like La Jolla). Not saying you won't be able to launch from beaches, you just won't be doing it legally. Don't ruin it for the rest of us, ok? This issue is 10yo at least when a certain QM wanted to launch his FnD w/ motor from a Doheney beach. 9-10 times you can probably get away w/ it, but that 1 time will give a lot of other kayakers a black eye. Good luck, Z
