seashore, beach
磯 centers on the rocky edge where land meets sea: a seashore or beach, especially one with stones or rough shoreline.
磯 combines 石 (stone) with 幾, which likely contributes the sound. Together they suggest a stony seashore.
The left side 石 means stone, and the right side 幾 looks like a complex shoreline. Picture a rocky beach where stones and waves meet.
For キ, imagine a key hidden among the stones on the seashore: key -> キ, and you find it while walking along the beach.
