Mykonos's finest beach, for the views, quality of sand and the people: think transatlantic/European 20-, 30- and 40-somethings, style-conscious, but still relaxed. There are three coves, becoming more gay and secluded the further you go. Clamber over the rocks to the next beach and a stunning taverna where you can eat in a shady garden.
Elia is one of the most easterly beaches on the south coast. Takes about 20-30 minutes on a moped, and twice that long in the old fishing boats from Ornos;

Visited 2007 and very pleasant. Easy 30 min bus from town. No loud music and partying on the beach (like Paradise beach). The restaurant / bar there is good and the staff helpful. Stuck for taxis on a busy weekend 10 of us were taken by the owner in his minibus back to town.)
