How far is the paddle from Dana Harbor to Salt Creek?

[alanw]

Google maps distance tool:

Launch ramp to harbor entrance = .5 mile
Harbor entrance to San Juan Rocks (Headlands) = 1.5 miles
San Juan Rocks to Salt Creek Beach = 1.25 miles

Total one way = 3.25 miles

Add .8 miles if you launch from Baby Beach


The kelp at the point is thick although a little brown this time of year. I was out there last weekend and schools of bait fish are plentiful. You can see lots of Calico and Kelpfish down to about about 20'-25' visibility into the water.

Lots of Dolphins out there, sea lion pups are plentiful, and even 3 whales passed inside the kelp line while I was there.
