South Shore launch ramp in Long Beach
590 Queens-way Drive
Best way to go is the 710 straight into the Queen Mary and then turn around( tell them you missed the turn and they won't charge you.
Google may want to take through town, don't.
Thank you for the quick response. From that launch Is there any bridges I have to go under to be able head out to Catalina? Don't want to worry about running my mast into it.

We launch from Cabrillo, never had a problem, and I think it is the closest to Catalina, heading 180% to Avalon or 203% to two harbors..

Newport Dunes has always been my spot, easy launch and some wonderful views leaving the harbor.
