Coastal Access Launch Sites Text Listings

This table links to all the Launch Sites and Section Maps, and provides a shortcut to the Sites, avoiding a long download of the Coastal Access Map. It lists which of the sites have photographs of the parking and/or launch areas. (All sites have links to aerial photographs of the launch area and directions.) The 'Quality of the Launch Site' is an attempt to rank the sites in popularity. That being a loose consideration of ease of driving to the site, parking availability, restroom facilities, sandy beach or good ramp, and sheltered waters. The ranking is a subjective rating from 0 (zero) to 5, the best being 5. Eventually all sites will be photographed and rated. .
