Patmos is not famous for its beaches, as visitors lick the island for other reasons. However, Patmos has scenic beaches with clean sea. Fans of pebble beaches will be happy on Patmos. The main beaches of Patmos are:

• Petra (South Patmos): This beach is next to Grikos but it is more quiet. It has pebble, few sunbeds and a beach bar. At one side of the beach it is hard to miss the gigantic rock which is called by the locals Rock of Kalikatsou.
• Psili Ammos (South Patmos): This is considered to be the best beach of Patmos. It has beautiful thin sand but it is not easy to reach, as you will either have to go by boat from Skala or you will have to walk for about half an hour. Psili Ammos beach is located at the south of Patmos.
• Twin Beaches (Northeast Patmos): As their name suggests (Didimes paralies in Greek) those are two identical small and quiet sandy beaches that are separated by a huge rock. They are also known as Liginou beaches and they are close to Skala to the north.
