Those are all good snorkeling or scuba diving access sites. Kayak launching... not so much. Who made up that map?

What is MarineMap?

MarineMap is an online mapping tool developed to assist in the design of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative process.

Why MarineMap?

MarineMap assists South Coast Regional Stakeholder Group (SCRSG) members in the design of MPAs by allowing them to view oceanographic, biological, geological, chemical and human dimensions of the ocean and coastal areas. MarineMap provides easy sharing of MPA ideas, and reports on how well individual MPAs and arrays of MPAs meet various guidelines set by the Master Plan Science Advisory Team (SAT) to help meet the goals of the MLPA.

I have launched several times from Orchard and Bermuda streets. It is a pain in the ass, sketchy and almost not worth the difficulty. It can really only be done a few days a year at mid to high tide with very little swell. Proceed with caution.

That's a typo on that map. They meant to say Kayak Lunched.....Looks like a good way to eat it.
Oh wait .....here's how you do it.....

I think the important part of those alledged launch sights is that they are at Sunset CLIFFS. Emphasis on the word cliffs. I guess any thing is possible but you better have your skills together and a strong back. I've launched all over So Cal, from south IB to the trails in Laguna Beach, and I wouldn't recomend that area. Mike
