It's a nice launch. Be aware that there is a cement curb at the edge of the cement ramp under the water about a foot inside of the pier. Also be aware that (due to the location) the ramp tends to collect a lot of seaweed, driftwood, and other debris. Pulling back up the ramp if you back down over much seaweed can be a problem. After a challenging experience, I always carefully inspect the ramp and remove seaweed and debris before launching.

I have a slight preference for the ramp on the east side, a couple of miles further south, close to the Jetty fishing pier, but my preference is based more on the fact that it's a shorter run to the jetties rather than the state of the ramp.
