How deep is the water at the pier beach and is it suitable for non-swimmers?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 2 days ago

TL;DR

Depth at the pier is uneven: near the start you can stand chest-to-waist deep (for ~165cm height), but it gets deep fast further along. Non-swimmers should enter from the shore instead of the pier — the pier ladders are narrow and awkward.

What the community said

The pier's depth varies along its length: in some spots the water reaches chest height, in others just below the waist (for someone about 165cm tall). From the ladder you can either swim right away or stand on the bottom in shallower water.

The pier isn't ideal for non-swimmers: the ladders are narrow and hard to use with an inflatable ring. It's easier to enter the water directly from the shore instead of via the pier.

Depth matters a lot for non-swimmers: they want to know if there's a waist-deep section before it suddenly gets deep, so they can still feel the bottom with their feet.
