Walk to water ~3 min, some via the sea elevator from the promenade
Facilities Full city beach · Cafés, amphitheater, sea elevator access

Hazards

PIERS Piers on both Kontiki and neighbouring Sironit organize peaks but create rip and current near their bases.
CLIFF ACCESS Beach sits beneath a cliff-top promenade — use the sea elevator or marked paths, not the cliff face directly.
RIP W/NW swell builds a beach-break rip near the piers on bigger days — paddle wide of the darker channels.
WINTER POWER This spot is noticeably hollower, more powerful, and more consistent in winter than summer — plan sessions accordingly.
