About This Launch
The two-lane causeway linking Dunedin to Honeymoon Island is a north-county staple. The south-facing shoreline holds shallow, rideable water for miles of reach when the wind comes from the south or west, with deeper pockets farther out for foil work. Parking, restrooms, and a waterfront café sit steps from the rigging area.
Before You Launch
Use the south shore only — utility lines run close to the water on the north side and make that edge unsafe. Boat channels are marked; current strengthens near the pass on tide change. North or northwest wind days are better served at Fred Howard Park up the coast.
