I talked to OCSD Harbor patrol the other day. Construction will continue into 2011, which really sucks - new docks and retaining wall. However, the construction is not effecting the parking and the beach is still open.

Like Ed said, launch here!

You are better off launching from the Balboa side of the channel. You have nice free parking at the Coast guard beach, protected sandy beach and no wall to worry about. You do not have to worry about whether the tide is in or not. The little beach that was mentioned earlier in the post can be a little tricky with a crowd of moms and kids and the high tide right up to the wall. Take PCH south from 55 over the large PCH bridge and first major right on Bayside, follow this for about a mile and a half. Keep your eyeys open the entry to the Coast guard parking is easy to miss on the right. You will need some wheels to go over the sand. You are 5 mion. from the bait barge. Let us know how you did.
