Anyone launch out of Pine Beach Inn, Fort Bragg?

Any comments by folks that have done it.  Close by Belinda Point and Hare Creek Beach are also possible.   Want to dive and fish these areas.  All 3 are public access points, the first is paved and free to guests or $20 fee, the second looks like it is easy to take kayak dolly down, but I haven't done it yet.  I'm not sure about the third, hare creek.

It would be nice to have a database of launch sites for sonoma and mendocino county diving.

Have u done russian gulch...just a little way down the hill sweet water...6 buck day use...and oh so easy.........I'm not a shore break dude yet...

I'm going to follow this thread, because u will get some good intell just posting it up....I believe there are a couple of threads on this...If u like to fish with someone and your in the area let me know....I'm very close...

Good luck...stay safe...

actually I usually camp at russian gulch.  other obvious launch areas are van damme, caspar beach, noyo harbor, glass beach, and albion.  I was looking for less travelled areas, because it seems there are tons of kayaks going out of these sites.

ahhh...the trail less traveled...rock on...I'll be doing RR tomorrow/thur...I like easy...Wx calls for simi glassey both days in the morn...a bunch of us are doing a 4 day gig @ ablion if your in the area give us a holler...

is it any good out of pine beach inn?

I have dived Hare Creek.  There are abs but I would not call it a good ab dive spot.  There is easy public access down a long row of poorly maintained stairs.  Getting a kayak up or down would be a chore.  Casper is better diving and much easier access.

I'm not gonna say too much about the diving......for my own personal safety.....you know small town and all that.

However, i will say that I have looked at it extensively for a yak launch and I think it is doable with some carrying involved.  I'm up for trying it if anyone else wants to try.  There's excellent beaches there for putting in.

I was also going to ask the Pine Beach guys if they might give a Locals Discount or something...funny you should bring this up.

I have walked into and dove Mitchell Creek access - the whole area looks decent.  $20 for access - ouch - definitely discourages locals.  it ssems the closest launch points are Caspar (south) and Noyo (north), both long runs.
