There is a No Boating Zone out from the Angling Club that will be policed this year according to the authorities. Beaches are crowded in January and will be even moreso when the JP/NP trailer comes down on the 8/9th January. If beach is too crowded probably better to launch from the Rotary Park just down from the Angling Club.
There will be a few of the Inverloch Windsurfing Club down there overChristmas and January so make sure you say GiDay
