Dana Point Boat Ramp Fee?

you can go to the office and get a overnight pass there if your going to be out for more than a day but its 10 bucks to open the gate as others have said even if you only have a yak.

$10 isn't too bad if we are launching two yaks. Thanks all.

Yeah, thats what I do now I just wanted to try it once to see if its worth the slightly shorter trip in and out.

I should probably also ask, does the $10 include parking or is that just for ramp use?

Both included in the 10$ and I use it because to me it is deff worth the shorter paddle and the bait barge is right there.

Is there a way to launch out of doheny without paying the day use fee?

At Doheney you can park in the parking lot at the end of the jetty for a buck an hour and pull your yak to the water. You can also unload your yak at that parking lot and then drive back out and turn left at the street that goes into the state beach and there is free parking at the top of that hill. about a 4 minute walk back to the yaks. I always thought the parking ticket machine started working at 6:00 am but I was ther a little early this past week and it was working at 5:45. I know it closes at midnight because I got a citation at 12:05 while lobstering this past year.
