Beautiful beaches are framing the Ouranoupolis. You will find them in relatively short distances and for the more demanding people, there are many excellent beaches which you can visit by boats from the small port village.

Some of the beaches worth seeing up close are: 

• Drenia islets. The small islands known by the locals as Gaidouronisia are a group of islets less than two miles from Ouranoupolis and Ammouliani. You can reach them with your own boat or you can rent a small boat easily without having a diploma, from Ouranoupoli or from Kamoudi.

Also you can go by boats that run regularly from 10 am to 6 pm and the start point is from Skala of Ouranoupoli in front of the Tower. For your lunch or for your coffee you will find a small tavern.

• Porto Agio. It is one of the many beaches of the region that are awarded the blue flag. It is organized and there are a Beach Bar and a restaurant. 
• Arsanas. It is located on the borders of Mount Athos (Agion Oros) after Ouranoupolis and takes its name from the monastic arsana (the seaside building which is used as a port for the transfer of goods and persons) which is at this point.
  It is three kilometres of dirt road from the village, with a relatively difficult access because it is rocky.
