Hi Guys, I need some help. I need to find a public launch ramp in newport beach Harbor. My brother-in-law and I bought a saltwater fishing boat and want to take it out. Thanks in advance.

Please excuse the late reply.

On weekends, Newport Dunes is a nightmare. Very narrow launch ramps. I've experienced many near collisions. I prefer to take the farther trek to Embarcadero at Dana Point. In general, try to avoid weekends anywhere if at all possible.

The Dunes is tight when its busy (almost any weekend)......

It is also steep, and at low tide is slippery as snot.. If your veh is light, you may need sand bags in the back to get traction to pull out....

But, it is the only public launch at NPH.... $10 week days $20 weekends & holidays????...

But you guys have got to admit it is a lot better than it used to be before they improved it!
