jrip..."The launch guys (Sean) are supposed to stamp you parking ticket.
I spoke to the office lady and that is Their policy."
I'm not sure who you talked to but the validation at the hoist is only for those that use the hoist...I sent Craig Stanton the link to this post...he is the Redondo Marina operations manager and probably the boss of the person you said you talked to...Craig called me after reading the post and wanted to clarify that there is no validation for use of the hand launch facility...and that it is not their policy to provide free or discounted parking for use of the hand launch...
If you use the hoist to launch your kayak they will validate your parking ticket and that validation allows you to park for 12 hours for $4...
The parking lot now has new hours...it does not open until 7am when the attendant arrives.
The rate is $2 per hour and as I said there are no validations other than the hoist.
Larry from Inseine Bait has closed the bait barge...this happened after the Redondo Police boat ticketed him for fishing too close to shore...
Good Luck...bring cash for the parking...no credit card...
Bill/Farmer and I fished today and it was fantastic weather...
