Where to launch in Newport - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have to agree with everyone else. Coast Guard station should be best. I launch at a closer location, only issue is the hill to get down. Or better yet, you can beach launch at little corona state beach, kinda hard now with the swell building.

Yep, USCG for me too. X2 for what Vincente said. But, bring good wheels. The concrete path is blocked right now for construction in the bathroom area. At least it was last week, and looked to be for a while.

yeah the sand on that beach is prett soft, nothign liek baby beach at DP. My HD Hobie wheels were near useless on the pro angler. Even with two people it was a workout getting it to the water.

Ok guys, we just got back and it was a big donut! The swell was horrible and the waves were 4-6 ft at the beach. Not only did we get skunked, but I forgot my wallet so we couldn't buy bait! My son was a little disappointed but we made the best of it and scoped out a few spots...I see the potential there...will definitely go back again. Thanks again for all the info!

No sharks, no lizard fish, but it was nice just to get out and fish!

Definitally check the swell and wind before going out but fishing inside of the harbor could be very productive. And I always bring frozen and/or plastic as a backup. You can also pull muscle from docks on your way out.
