| + | * If you go to the **east end of Port San Juan** where there are some large parking areas for beach walkers and campers, it is a bit of a carry to get your boat to the water. It's possible that you might be able park closer to the shore at the north end of this long beach, but we have not checked that out. | ||
| + | * On the **east end of Port Renfrew** at Pacific Gateway Marina there is a boat ramp with parking. If you go east on the dirt road there next to the shore you can park on grass/dirt reasonably close to the water and carry your boat down to the shore, through the clump of trees where the land juts out to the north. (at least this was possible in 2023) | ||
