Places to Launch and Camp / Re: Checked out Capitola wharf and beach
« on: Today at 08:31:26 AM »
I used to park in the overflow parking in the NB campground, it's just as you get up the hill to the campground, before you get to the trailers, then wheel my yak down the road to the chain across the entrance to the lower lot, under the chain and down to the beach. It's maybe 2/10ths of a mile, downhill.
I don't recall what I did with my wheels, probably put them in the hatch, but maybe I locked them up under the stairs. The walk back up isn't awful, though not fun, but watch for the cars and RV's on the narrow road around noon. The chain sometimes didn't come down until 8:30 or so, the ranger wasn't an angler, I guess. You need a pass to park anywhere in the park. Yeah, I did it less often after the helicopter pics of sharks in the area and as I got into my late 70's!
