1. For location, is Dana Point the closest place (from Irvine) to hoop by kayak? Crystal Cove maybe? Your choice. I know nothing about crystal cove.
2. I went to check out DP today and saw that parking ends at 12 midnight. So basically if anyone is here hooping, they need to be done at 12? What about the opener, which starts at midnight? Does it get enforced? If you launch at the $10 boat launch, parking is a non-issue. I have parked at baby beach til 2 or 3 no tickets.
3. Do people typically hoop on the inside of the jetty or on the outside? I don't think you can hoop inside the harbor. people hoop the "long" wall and the areas around the rock jetties.
4. I noticed on the southwestern end of DP, there is beach access. It seems like a good way to get into the rocky areas, although the sign does say no boat launching. I assume kayaks count as a boat launch. Any idea? At dark no one is going to care where you launch. I wouldn't sweat it being hassled. I WOULD caution you about the that shallow area in/around capo beach. Plenty of rocks BUT surf could be an issue with tides and at night could be challenging.
Good luck out there!
