I would say that the Coast Guard Station would be the best place to launch, either that or M Street Public Pier inside the harbor. I actually launch at a small residential beach thats right by the mouth of the harbor, eventhough its a shorter paddle, still a bit of a hassle since you have to park on top of a cliff then roll the kayak down a steep road, but it always has parking and when I launch there is rarely anyone else there to crowd the area.
