You can't get to the beach at the base of the wharf right now because of the fencing that's there for the wharf repair work. Anyone know another place to launch in Capitola?

Bummer we can't launch there right now, but super glad they are fixing the pier. Only been there a few times, but always had a good time in Capitola.

Any idea when they are supposed to finish the repairs?

New Brighton beach, but the gates don't open till 8 am ????

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...

Nice, but what about the landing? That's usually way more entertaining...

The project's site says "through 2024."  So, they should be finished by 2028 or so.
