San  Onofre is a State park, so I guess my $125 now gets me into all the
State  parks. It's $10 just to go for the day. $10 for parking seems like
about  the going rate to park at most of the beaches around here, but you
can
find  free exceptions if you don't mind walking a bit. Not a lot of beaches
allow  kayak surfing though, I don't think.
Yes this is the nuclear plant. Haven't  seen any strange fish, I just hope I
don't start growing a third  eye.

Actually, San Onofre is one of the only beaches where Surf Kayaking IS
restricted.  It is more restrictive to kayak surfers than most spots.
Unless there is a blackball flag flying, in which case board surfers aren't
allowed either, there is no law or regulation that prohibits kayak surfing
at other beaches. Generally, if board surfing is allowed, then kayak surfing
is.  Santa Cruz tried to pass a restriction, but it failed.  

 I've had board surfers tell me otherwise, and I basically offer that they
are welcome to call the cops.   One guy decided he'd go get the lifeguard,
and the lifeguard told him he was full of it.   At which point he threatened
a friend of mine.  The lifeguard was informed, and that board surfer was
told he had the choice of leaving and not coming back, or being arrested.  3
board surfers who'd seen the altercation apologized to us for him being a
prick.
