What Launches Are Open - Post It Here! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Maybe there is a better way to do this but, we should be able to keep an active list of whats open and where kayak-ers can go to launch.
(copy and past the info below to your post reply and change the appropriate data)

Date - 3/29 Location - Newport Harbor - Coast Guard Station Beach Launch Open - Yes. Parking lot open - Closed. Park on street. Other Notes - Lots of boats on the water. A few other kayak-ers out. No hassles from the authorities (as it should be, exercise and getting food (fishing) are allowable necessary activities per state guidelines.)

Lets work together and keep informed. Whats better in a situation like this than getting out, getting exercise, reducing stress and practicing 'Social Distancing' which is what kayaking is all about!

agree with others on this topic, don't abuse the privilege to where the right is taken away. just be respectful of others, keep your distance, pick up after yourself, bring hand sanitizer for when pumping gas, handling $$ etc & things should be copasetic.. Most of us don't understand why the launches are closed yet they allow us to cram the supermarkets like sardines hunting for TP yada yada please just don't blow up the spot so we have no where to launch at all

According to this email I got from Surfline. I receive emails as a premium member. According to it, a surfer was ticketed 1000$ for disobeying order. I subscribe so I can get the long range forecasts to do some planning. Some of this information might be readily available to non subscribers through the website?

Wow, this is a serious bummer. I figure a matter of time when having a kayak on a vehicle will get you cited well before you get to the off ramp.

I feel manipulated and violated with all this.
