From now until August you had better get there before 7 AM or after 2 PM if you want a parking spot. Oh yeah, you have to pay $10 to launch. You probably don't have to pay for a sailboat if you lauch from the beach, but if you don't have receipt hanging from your rear view mirror and you are parked anywhere within 15 miles of the city limits you will probably get a ticket! Once away from the city, it is an awesome place for sailing!
