King Harbour Basin 2 is a harbor area within King Harbor Marina in Redondo Beach, California. The primary and likely only practical launch point for paddlers is a small, paved dock located along a path that runs south from the main marina parking area, past Polly's on the Pier restaurant. This launch involves sliding a kayak across the dock to reach the water, as there is no beach available for launching. The dock is situated approximately 100 yards down the path from the main parking lot. Parking is available in the marina lot at 171-399 N. Harbor Drive. The launch is potentially tricky for those unfamiliar with it, especially if a kayak is heavily loaded. The overall character is that of an active, developed marina environment. Paddlers should expect significant boat traffic from powerboats and sailboats within the harbor channels, requiring constant awareness. As a coastal harbor, conditions are influenced by tidal currents and wind; paddlers should plan to launch on a slack or favorable tide to manage currents, particularly when entering or exiting the main channel to the open ocean. The harbor mouth can experience swell and wave action, and crossing the main channel requires caution due to vessel traffic. The area is urban, with views of the pier, restaurants, and moored boats. Facilities are limited to the parking area and the basic dock structure itself.
