Refugio State Park has an easy beach launch. Normally in the summer there is no surf here and one could easily launch a canoe. Even in the winter, the surf is is usually small here. There is a fee for entering the park here (unless you have a State Park pass). You can park right next to the beach and only need to carry/wheel your canoe or kayak across the beach to the water.

Going Northwest up the coast the cliffs are fairly interesting and at medium through low tide, there are some small beaches to land on for a break.

--Restrooms and a campground is located here.
