Beaver Creek is a great place to go. It is all flat water with lots of marsh life, birds and interesting things! The only weather caution is around the put-in area when the winter winds are really high. Otherwise it has enough shelter to tame down the ocean weather.
As has been noted before, the location of the put-in is not clear from the write-up. It is the ramp right at Hwy 101. At Ono Beach State Park, you turn East from 101 onto North Beaver Creek Road. Go a hundred feet or so and then turn South into the parking lot and ramp. It has ample parking and an easy put-in.
I'm not able to make it this year. A couple of days before Christmas they installed a pacemaker in me. I'm 100% now, but not allowed to do things like paddling for a month or so because of the new hardware. I'll come next year!
Everybody enjoy the outing!
