Port San Luis Kayaking And Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Kayaks paddling in Port San Luis San Luis - paddling toward break wall along cliff

The picture above shows kayaks paddling inside the harbor west toward the break wall. After passing the Port San Luis Pier, the last 0.5 mile is quite scenic -- you can paddle very close to the steep cliff that rises above the bay. There is a very nice secluded beach (Lighthouse Beach) nestled against the cliff right before the breakwall. Landing on this beach is usually very easy, however, if the surf is extremely big and wrapping around or breaking over the breakwall, the end of the beach furthest away from the breakwall is the best spot to land. Here is a detailed description with pictures of the kayak or SUP to Lighthouse Beach.

When you reach the breakwall, another option is to paddle out around the break wall and then North up the rugged coast. The end of the break wall and the coast going North are quite exposed to wind and swell, but very beautiful.
