Pier Dimensions and Construction
The pier has a total length of 511.5 meters, with 458 meters extending over the water and the remaining section over the beach. The widest part of the pier, entirely over the beach, is called the “patelnia” (pan).
The width of the pier varies from 10 to 26 meters, not including the lower pontoons used for mooring vessels.
The wooden structure is based on pine piles with a diameter of 30 to 60 cm, driven into the seabed to a depth of 5 to 12 meters. The decking is made of pine boards 6 cm thick, 15 cm wide, and 440 to 780 cm long.
