If you have a light-to-moderate weight kayak, you can park on the street and wheel across the railroad tracks, tree roots, and rocks to get to the beach as early as you want.
I use to that sort of thing when I was younger. I do know that spot though. Makes me want to take my surf pole at the crack of dawn.
You can park on Coronado St, and then scramble down to the parking lot on the trail in the red circle. I did that often the first couple of years I was kayak fishing. But, since I'm now older and lazier, and since sharks started hanging out along the beach, I've lost my enthusiasm for this particular launch site...
