Playa del Amor (Zipolite)
Playa del Amor
A small bay among rocks at the western end of Zipolite, the officially recognized core of its nudist beach, quieter and more secluded than the main beach.
Playa del Amor is hidden behind the headland at the western end of Zipolite's main beach and is reached by crossing a small rocky path. The bay has relatively gentle waves and is the center of Mexico's first legal nudist beach area. In 2016 it hosted a Latin American nudist gathering. Clothing is optional, but photographing others is prohibited, so bring sun protection and water. Guesthouses like Shambhala on the cliff top overlook the entire Zipolite coast. Zipolite is known as the “Beach of Death” because of its strong undertows, so anyone who is not a confident swimmer should not go into the water.
