Not sure about Los Alamitos but Anaheim Bay (controlled by the Naval Weapons Station) is still closed to kayakers, even if motorized I heard. Was hoping they would allow use by kayaks after they reconfigured the civilian channel but no for now. Have heard they might reconsider once they finish the project by building the munitions pier. I’m sure Andy at OEX will have the latest info.

Kayaks can use the channel in Los Alamitos bay channel. I see quite a few people that actually fish the channel but I just used it to get to the break wall or oil islands.

I was never hassled.

You do have to watch the boat traffic especially later in the day on weekends.
