This is still the main recognised nudist beach. Everybody seems to have heard of it in Batsi. It's not on the Toubi's map. There is a small bar at the beach if you need a drink or some Cap'n Barefoot sunning shade. Well this beach isn't particularly big so you need to get there early for the best spots. The naturist part of the beach is obvious enough (you overlook it as you walk there) it's on the right over a small rocky outcrop, with occasionally some nudists seen on the left side when crowded. A few textiles sometimes sit on the nudist beach, but don't seem bothered about it. The majority of the naturists seemed to be from the UK, my contributors chatted with a couple who live on Andros permanently. In June they had caught a couple of snakes (only 3 feet long!) at the beach so it might be safer to keep off the rocks at the back of the beach. We don't know if they were poisonous or not! It takes about 25 couples before the beach starts to get quite crowded. Quite nice and sandy but on one trip we picked up a lot of tar from the beach (after a storm). When the wind blows from the South/West the water level rises reducing the area of sand by about 50%. A strong wind can get the surf quite rough. On return from the beach it's worthwhile stopping by the Stivari beach tavern for a beer, this is run by a London lady and has become very popular. Plus points are that it's very easy to reach on foot. 6 out of 10.
2006 June: The right (naturist) end of Delavoyas beach was still 100% naturist, mainly with people from France and Sweden, while a couple more naturists lay at the mainly textile part of the beach. No-one seemed to bother any of the naturists, on the contrary Barefoot reporters felt very welcome and amazingly, the sun-beds were free of charge! Without even asking our landlady for a naturist beach, she mentioned Delavoyas as a commonly known naturist beach.
2007 September: Barefoot reporters were amazed to find not only that this beach remained 50% nudist (completely accepted by the textiles), that it was immediately below a holiday complex, which usually precludes naturism, and that the sunbeds and umbrellas were still free.
2008 September: It was still the same situation.
2013 July: A report says: Delavogias remains suitable for nudism.
2023 September: the part to the right of the rocks is still suitable for nudism. Some days a few textiles will come to this part of the beach, but do not seem to bother. No sun-beds in this part of the beach, but there are fixed parasols.
2024 August: The Delavoyas beach is occupied by 100% textiles. Same goes for the nearby Agia Marina, which is under control of a taverna.
