Zipolite
Playa Zipolite
The only legal nudist beach in Mexico, with a roughly two-kilometer stretch of sand, hippie-style cabins, and sunset bars, all with a free and easygoing atmosphere.
Zipolite is famous for its nudist culture and backpacker vibe. At the eastern end of the beach, Lovers' Bay is enclosed by rocks and more secluded. Note that the rip currents here are extremely strong, and the beach is known as the “Beach of Death.” Do not swim far from shore, and watch for red flag warnings. Along the beach are thatched-hut guesthouses, pizzerias, and bars, where people gather in the evening to watch the sunset. It is about 65 km from Puerto Escondido and can be visited together with Mazunte.
