LJ Parking citation - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Fished Lake La Jolla yesterday afternoon. Beautiful weather with a nice downhill current and little wind that went flat calm around 5:00 pm. Heard on the beach that a couple of YT were caught but didn't see it with my own eyes.

Now about the parking citation. I was parked north of the life guard station in the public lot. I received a citation under CVC 22502, which refers to parallel parking more than 18" from the curb. The Remarks section says "facing wrong way". I was facing head-out in the first row for ease of loading and unloading my kayak.

Has anyone run into this before? Is the paking lot posted as head-in parking only? I usually arrive in the dark, so I have never tried to read the sign at the entrance. Thanks for your help on this.
