Spot description
Vouliagmeni Bay is heavily used along the Athenian Riviera. Northerlies are usually offshore and leave flatter water near shore; southerlies can produce longer waves and shorebreak. Stones and sea urchins occur in places. Launch in offshore wind only with a safe means of returning.
