Black Palace to La Mer Downwind Leave the Black Palace Beach area on a northbound coastal leg, then turn northeast across the water towards La Mer, following the bends shown on the course map. The five plotted points measure about 17.37 km, compared with the map's segment labels totalling about 17.77 km and the rounded 18 km listing. This is a visual reconstruction, not an original GPS track; the short final sections are approximate. The plotted ends do not confirm permitted kayak launch or landing sites. Check shore access, wind, waves, currents, visibility, vessel traffic, restricted areas and local rules before planning. Not for navigation.
