Actually, Kounoupitsa is a continuum of many tiny beaches joined, with fine pebbles and crystal clear waters. Here you can take a quick dip, or enjoy food and drink at one of the shops located just next to it.

You can reach Kounoupitsa beach by all available means of Spetses (taxi, water taxi, bus or buggy, bicycle or motorcycle) or simply on foot.

Almost next to the port of Spetses, lies the beach Agios Mamas. Although it is close to the harbor, the water is clean and many resort to its small beach to have a quick dip.

Towards the Old Harbour and right after Agios Mamas, there is the tiny beach of Agios Nikolaos. The beach has sand and pebbles, and is chosen mainly by locals due to easy access.

Agia Marina beach is a bit more than 2km from Dapia. The beach is highly organized with sun beds, umbrellas, water sports facilities and places to eat and drink. On the one end of the beach there is the chapel of Agia Marina, while at the same spot a settlement was once discovered and its findings can be seen at the Museum of Spetses.

The carriages have two starting points on both sides of the harbor, depending on where you want to go. The phone is 22980- 73 170 (towards schools) and 22980- 73 171 (towards the Old Port).

What's more,there are taxis (with a stand at the entrance of the harbor) and water taxis located in Ntapia (phone 22980- 72072), while for journeys outside the city there are buses. Boats also start from the port, going to the most remote beaches of the island and towards Costa.
