Where can I launch kayak in Newport bay?

[Mahigeer]

I like to give the Newport bay a try.<O:p</O:p
I would appreciate very much some information on where to park and put the launch the kayak.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p
I saw some streets, but could not read the signs clearly with the satellite photo.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p
There is a pier and a public dock around 2119 Channel Road. Can this dock be used?
If it is public, why not?

Thanks for the help.

I launch out of the small beach just before the wedge.

There are public docks all over the harbor. It is my understanding that the beaches are all public and you are free to launch from the beach. I have launched from the beach next to the public dock closest to the jetty with no problem. I have also launched from balboa island a few times with no problem.

Just be carefull not to launch in the back bay. You can paddle there but you can't go on the land.
