Beach arrival just north of the pier at the parking lot @ Pico & PCH may be a good spot. I've been eying that to spot for a launch. There is sand but also a paved walk-way over the RR tracks and no rocks. Metered parking though. BUT free street parking nearby. So for those with trucks can park for free. While you retrieve your trucks to haul us back, the others can beer up and the 7-11.
Maybe we can coordinate a little BBQ back at baby beach or something?
