u gonna need assistance for long point unless u wanna paddlefor a long time. But i think there is a landing off the hwy 27 that you can put a yak in to get to west cove.

West Cove boat launch is south of Hackberry, just past Hog Island Gully, launch will take you straight into West Cove. Just don't try to paddle against a strong incoming/outgoing tide.

It gets shallow or the tide rips?

Tides rip through there, you can paddle as hard as you can and stay in one spot.
