Launches
- 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.
- On the east end of Port Renfrew there is a boat ramp with a parking lot. There is a dirt road dropping down to the east from that lot off of which you can park on grass reasonably close to the water and carry your boat down to the shore for a launch. (at least this was possible in 2023)
