Watercraft beaching device

A watercraft beaching device which includes a base member and a pair of upright supports attached to the base member and positioned in spaced apart relationship. Each upright may also include a cushioned hull engagement surface. Advantageously, the hull engagement surfaces are elongated to engage more than a single point along the side of the boat hull to prevent the watercraft from pivoting about the beaching device on the shoreline and yet still require a relatively small area of surface contact with the hull of the watercraft. The upright supports are configured to hold the hull of the craft such that the keel of the craft does not come into contact with the base member of the watercraft beaching device or shoreline thereby eliminating abrasive wear to the keel of the craft while moored using the watercraft beaching device of the present invention.
