Limena beach is a well-established naturist beach. Limena beach is quite popular, partly because of the two large turtle ponds. Do not forget to feed the turtles.
It will have plenty of people on it, but they will be well spread out, protected in the semi-circular rocky windbreaks. When my correspondents were there, there were seven couples in all, all nude - and one of the couples said that was the most crowded they had ever seen it.
Bring your own umbrellas as there is no shade, and certainly no refreshments. And water shoes are a good idea - sea urchins were rife when one couple visited in Sep 2011. But it is sandy, and it is deserted, and it is predominantly nude. What more could you ask for?

2004 May: A report said "when there were no more than 12 people on any of the beaches - and sometimes just the two of us".
2006 August: A visitor said "Definitely the best beach we visited. The southern half was 90% naturist, with just a few (mainly English) couples, very relaxed atmosphere, most people enjoying walks along the water's edge. Stone wind breaks, lovely sand, including under water, gently shelving, even terrapins in the pool behind the beach! Accessible by small hire car (although most naturists walked from Sigri). Must give this a 100% rating."
2011 July: There were three couples on the beach, all nude.
2013 July: Hi, my wife and I (Norwegian couple) visited Limena Beach a couple times. The first time we were alone together with another nude couple (apparently the couple who own one of the summer houses behind the beach - they had their "private" spot with sunbeds and umbrellas). Furthermore there was an Austrian family (textile) in the northern end of the bay. When they left the beach in the middle of the day - we were all alone :-) The Next day there was a Greek Family in the northern part of the bay (textile). We therefore settled down in the southern part along with another nude couple and a single woman. Splendid Beach - Nice sand :-)
2014 September: We visited 3 times. Once we were alone, next time there was one other nude male in a shelter. The 3rd time there were a few (textile) windsurfers at the one end, so we went nude at the other with no problems. A couple of hikers later came past us and were about to disappear but changed their minds and came back to strip off and have a nude swim. We have also been here in May and never found more than a few people, usually nude. A farmer once passed by herding sheep but seemed totally relaxed about people being naked on the beach. If you are new to naturism then this is an ideal place to go for it, as nobody could care less what you are wearing or what shape you are.
N.B. The town beach mentioned above can be reached via very narrow town streets or via the turn up past the archaeology museum as you approach town. This route is better at first but the zigzag descent down to the town beach is steep.
2021 July: According to my basic Greek the sign reads approximately "Limena beach. Please, keep this gate closed". Do not be so stupid like I was and try to go down the path in your scooter – the path is too rough for that even in Lesvos terms. Nobody was at the beach at 3 p.m. when I came. I put my stuff 5 metres from one of the "private" stone shelters and went for a swim quite a few metres from the shore since the bay is very shallow. While I was in the water, a man in his bathing suit come to my place and took a real look of who, what and where and returned to one of the summer houses behind. I got the hint and moved to the southern half. Some kite-boarding people had made a real nice shelter, so I used it without touching a thing – so generous of them to leave it for others to use. I stayed there for 4 hours all alone and all nude. Oh, and unfortunately, no turtles were seen, and ponds have dried out.
