I sent my family to the Ocean Beach on a ferry, but I took my kayak
(Folbot, Kodiak) to cross about 8 static miles.
I launch my kayak from a pier near a ferry terminal. Not a very good place
- the drop is about 4 feet from the pier to the water, but below the
pier there is a small step on the water level - it helps to take a sit in
the kayak. Took me about 2 1/2 hours to cross the bay. Water was very
choppy and a lot of traffic - from small boats to big ferryies.
Navigation was very easy - there is a big water tank in the Ocean Beach
visible from the Bay Shore.

We attempted to launch from there once but it looked to crazy to try so we
skipped it. Are you from LI? Where do you usually paddle?
