Tell me about the beach - what's it made of (Sand/shingle etc.), Access, Features, Accessibility - anything that might help another Barefooter & I'll update the page.

If you have any photos I can use, please send them to photos@barefoot.holiday, letting me know which beach at which location (send a link to this page for instance)

Thanks - The Captain

Make your way to Naousa and follow signs for Santa Maria. Pass the salt pans on your right and continue to a crossroads and take the road on the right. At the first sign for a taverna, turn right and you will enter what seems to be a car park for this taverna. Continue to the beach and follow the water line to the east (right) (?). At the end of this beach there are two very small coves that can be used for nudist sunbathing and swimming.

The beaches are about 15m to 20m long and about 15m from water to beach top. It consists of fine golden sand with pebbles for the last 2m at the top of the beach. There are facilities at the tavern, which is about 100m away, but there is no shade. Access to the water is easy and the water is safe.

There was only one nude man on the beach, but he left soon after my contributors arrived. The cove was, of course, 100% nude (my contributor and his wife), but they felt as though it may not be the norm for this beach.

The adjacent beach was populated by textile Greeks, and although they seemed to accept the idea of nudists in the small coves, I am not sure going for a walk would be so readily accepted.

Because of the feeling that we were nudists on a textile beach, we score this beach 50%. Someone with a thicker skin may have a different opinion. It must be said that this is the first report the Captain has received concerning nudism on Santa Maria so this opinion may well be correct.
