I have often thought of launching from Escondido Beach.
What do you do off load the kayak by the gate and then park across the street?
As that looks like the only safe place to park.
If anyone is up to do a launch for here let me know I would be up for it.

Love fishing Escondido Beach.
Parking is sometimes a pain in the @$$, but not too bad especially if you get there early.
This place can get really fishy.
Although, avoid it for a few days after a rain storm.
Some pretty nasty stuff comes down the creek.

the problem with that spot is that the gate is closed until sunrise and you depend on some guy to show up to unlock it he is sometimes on time and sometimes comes late.

You can wheel in the yak from across the street along the creek under pch...

LMK if anyone wants to do Escondido this Saturday. Hopefully, someone willing to paddle/peddle some miles, I'd like to go try for some Rockfish.

Surf looks to be too big for me. Going to go down and check the area out.
Maybe next weekend.
If it looks do able next Saturday I will start a post about going.
