Kalo Livadi :)...a long, beautiful, relatively quiet beach: one of the best I have seen on Mykonos so far. Even better than Elia! The only minus is that you are not allowed to swim in the nude here. Kalo Livadi Beach is long, clean and sandy, and roughly about the same size as Elia Beach. The water is shallow and clear and it is easy to go into the water here. No high waves when we were there, so perfect for families with children I would think. There are beach beds and umbrellas for rent but there are also parts where you can just lie your towel in the sand. There are a few trees on Kalo Livadi Beach in case you want to lie in the shade. At the beach you can find different kinds of hotels and there are a couple of tavernes. The distance to the main town of Mykonos is about 10 kilometers and the village of Ano Mera is about 2 kilometers away. Until recently you could not get to Kalo Livadi Beach by bus, so you had to hire a car or a motor, or take a taxi (9 euro in 2004).
If you want to take a bus back you could make the 30 minutes walk to Kalafatis, a walk that is quite pleasant. On the way you will see another small beach just around the corner, about 5 minutes away from the main beach. Not so many houses YET, but this is going to change soon. There is building activity going on, and no wonder, because this is truly a super beach :)! At times we were as good as the only 2 people swimming in the sea. The view is top as well. If you want to take the bus back to Mykonos town from Kalafatis: there aren't many buses going. The one at 17.20 might be a good one. Another option is to walk back to the village of Ano Mera and get on the bus there.
Update 2013: apparently there is now a bus connection between Mykonos Town and Kalo Livadi Beach, even if it is only two buses a day. The cost for a one way trip in 2013 is 1,50 euro. You must buy a ticket before you get on the bus, or a return ticket if required. You can buy them at are sold at street kiosks, minimarkets and tourist shops.
