Redondo Kayak launch and Boat Ramp...? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The boat ramp is still manditory for a permit for the Waterfront project....and they are still tossing around location options and the financial requirements and logistics for the ramp.
The Coastal Commission insists that the ramp needs to be built...the $1,000,000+ question is WHERE...?

Maximum revenue and minimum utility. Isn't that the motto of California politics? That (2 or 3 car) dropoff area for kayaks should work fine in the winter months before 7am. Sharing that small launch with swimmers is a great idea also! There is also a big difference in the average class of people that hang out around Redondo and La Jolla at night.

"8 dollars for boat hoist fee is for a round trip for a hand launch size boat"

Sounds like a deal to me, to have them launch that big tandem beast of a Hobie for $8...!
