I have a truck, but usually fish by myself and never trust leaving my stuff unattended, so I park as close as I can ( side streets or parking lot) and wheel my rig to the sand and throw my cart on the kayak and go. It adds weight and bulkiness, but I don't know any different. If Im fishing with friends I usually still cart it to the sand, but ditch the cart in my truck, while my buddy watches the rigs.
I used to fish some rural areas of Northern Ca and would sometimes have to hike or hoof it through blackberry bushes with a cobra tandem or an old town canoe, so walking 5 mins with a kayak on pavement is a treat
