Atspas Beach
Atspas Beach: shallow sandy cove for easy shore dives.
Easy shore entry in Skala Maries with a long shallow bay and livelier rocky edges for snorkeling and relaxed dives.
About Atspas Beach
Atspas Beach is a small sandy cove in Skala Maries with a long shallow approach, easy shore access, and calm water that suits relaxed beginner diving and easy snorkeling. The center of the bay stays open and simple, while the rocky edges hold more of the life and structure. It is a comfortable place for low-stress water time, but the beach can feel busier in peak summer and is best on quieter, clearer days.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Beginner-friendly shore dive with a maximum depth around 15 m.
Freediving
Casual shallow breath-hold practice is possible, but this is better treated as a relaxed beach cove than a dedicated apnea training site.

Best along the rocky edges where small fish and octopus are easier to find; the sandy middle stays simpler and more open.
