We get out to PA quite often, never had a problem launching even at low low tide. The public dock there has room for 6 or 7 boats, so you can usually tie up there. The marina is PRIVATE. So be prepared to pull your boat out each night. There is no gas at the water anyway, Winter Harbour being the closest. There is a gas pump in town, be sure to check the hours as you drive by. Last two weeks of June, Coho were outside (just outside) the Sound. August for sure is a good time to catch them inside. It's about 30 minutes to the ocean, calm water. You don't have to go far out, the fishing is great right at the mouth (Cliff Point). The road to PA is paved all the way, quite windy but nicely kept up. Lots of parking room for your trailer and an overflow across the street. Last year in August, there were humpbacks right in the Inlet in front of PA.
