We've never kayaked ashore in either one, but there is no reason not to give it a go. Refugio should be particularly easy if you go around the point/reef. There was no swell the day we filmed, so it's unlikely that you'd get slammed. Nevertheless, before trying to go ashore spend some time watching the break -- no matter how small -- before trying to beach your craft.
There is no prohibition against going ashore at SBI. On the other hand, there’s no good place to land your boat. We didn’t land a Refugio, but watched dozens of kayakers make their way in and out with no incident. Of course, harsher weather could change that scenario.
Thank you Capt Dan!

Enjoy your videos! Thanks for posting them. Is it legal to motor your dingy to the beach? How do you get to shore at refugio?
