I'm considering sailing from Marina Del Rey (Los Angeles) to Paradise Cove
(Malibu) and anchoring there for the night. It looks like a decent
anchorage, but there's no information about in my cruising guide.

Has anyone stayed there? Do you have any suggestions on where and how to
anchor in that area? Are there some hazards to watch out for?

Just looking at it, it appears to offer good protection unless there's a
swell from the south. There's lots of kelp, but it should be sandy directly
in front of the pier. We're thinking of borrowing a kayak so we can get to
shore.

Any info you can offer would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brien

Hi,

I have anchored there but never spent the night. I don't think it
would be a problem though. There is a pretty strong tide current going
in and out of the delta under the San Rafael / Richmond bridge and
that will probably cause you to turn around with the tides.

I would recommend staying at the mooring at Ayala Cove on Angel Island
instead though. They charge $5.00 / per night but it's well protected
and you can go ashore to the bathrooms and even take the ferry to
Tiburon and San Francisco.

No problem. Thanks anyways. I'll store your suggestions away and hopefully
I'll get the chance to sail to the bay area someday soon.

site is a mess, links are dysfunctional obviously designed by someone who
bought a copy of 'Cool Wbsite Designing for Ultra-Dummies'. The only
'info' is self serving SPAM crap. And the guy who responded praising the
thing is just a shill.

This was a link to ONE PAGE page of the web site and that one page was the
subject of my comment. Nobody was discussing or praising the site as a
whole. If you have better info to offer on Paradise Cove then I suggest you
do so and make a positive contribution here. I stand by what I said.
