In SE Florida, I will lay my gear out on the beach in the dark(early morning). Drive 5 miles North to park the truck, then ride a bike back to the launch area. Launch, make bait and drift 5 miles North to where I parked the truck before calling it a day. On the way home, pick up the bike that I leave locked to a post at the launch area.

In wealthy areas (WPB/Mar A Lago), I can leave the kayak on the beach, take an Uber back to the truck as the beaches lined with million dollar homes are desolate, and even if there was someone there, the chances of them wanting to steal kayak gear is remote.

That's commitment to a launch spot. Definitely would not do the same.
