Channel Islands Harbor launching - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I go there quite often and I always launch from Kiddie beach. There's a parking lot right next to it. I didn't know you couldn't launch there. oops . I'll probably keep launching there until someone says otherwise.

However just north of kiddie beach I see ppl launching there yaks from the dirt. (no sand along the waterway)

I launched out of there about a year ago and didn't really think anything of it. I was looking for other places to launch from when I came across the discription of kiddie beach on the channel island harbor website saying nope can't launch from there.
Years ago hobie beach was covered in sand. Oddly enough people would launch the hobie cats off that beach. Not sure where the sand went and when it disappeared as I just moved back there area a few years ago.

The boat ramp was nice.
Got there a little after 6:30 and the weather was ok. No wind a little cloudy. On the water by 7:00. Started making my way out to main and channel. I could see wind was picking up so I turned around and went back towards Mandalay Bay Area. Just paddled around for an hour.
