This is my kind of nude beach - very beautiful, very quiet, shade sitting on dunes under the juniper trees. Not a place to go to if you're seeking company but certainly somewhere to commune naked with nature. There were about ten of us there the afternoon we visited, mostly young couples, either naked from the start or eventually naked. Apparently it does get people camping there at weekends but they do not disturb the nudists, I understand.
The downside is getting there. It is only about 3km east of Elafonisi/Elafonissos but to get there by road you need a 4WD or nerves of steel. Take the road just north of the village, signposted Paleochora. The surface loses its asphalt almost immediately. Follow it as best you can past various turnings until you reach a greenhouse on a bend and a right-hand narrow track with grass down the middle. Follow this uneven and winding track for another 500m or so until you reach a parking spot on the headland. Then descend on foot to the beach below.
A better alternative might be to drive to the beach at Elafonissos and park the furthest to the left you can. Then follow on foot the marked E4 walking trail along the coast (unusually flat here) until, maybe after half an hour, you arrive at the Kethrodassos beach.

There is an excellent website with hundreds of pageson Greek nude beaches. Essential reading before you go, even if some of the information now seems out of date:
