KAYAK LAUNCH FEE -Bring your own (Not a rental or guided tour) No Inflatable Kayaks Allowed

How to Find Us

Where to Park

• Parking IS NOT included in the rental or launch fee price.
• The area has downtown standard sized parking spots and large oversized vehicles such as trailers are not recommended.

 What to Bring

• A water bottle, sunscreen, sunglasses, and hat are good to bring along. You will be standing in a few inches of water to get in and out of the kayak so bring shoes that you don’t mind getting wet (i.e. strap on sandals or water shoes). Kayaking is a water sport and you will get wet. It is a good idea to bring a change of clothes. Bring some type of waterproof bag to keep your keys and cellphone in or you can rent a dry bag from Mission Kayak for $5.00 on the day of your trip.
