I launch right at the end of the parking lot. I go down Ocean until it dumps you into the parking lot that is closest to the jetty with the lifeguard building on the end. There are a few spaces on your left that you park parrallel to the sidewalk that I like to use. The meters run $.25 per 15 minutes so take some quarters wit ya. It's a short pull across the sand to the water....but you need a good cart with high flotation wheels to make the pull easy as the sand is really soft and narrow wheels can bury themselves. I use my roleez when I go and it works like a charm. I work this weekend, but when I'm in town and I'm free I'll get in touch and see if you still want to go locally.
