Zipolite

Zipolite sits on the Oaxaca coast, a single stretch of sand that became Mexico's best-known nudist beach and stayed a magnet for backpackers long after. The town itself is a scatter of palapa hostels and hammocks strung along the sand, none of it polished, most of it deliberately low-key next to the resort towns further up the coast. The Pacific here is rough, strong undertow, better for watching than swimming past the shallows. Playa del Amor, a cove a short walk away, is calmer and popular for sunset. Mezcal bars stay open late, and the pace stays slow through the whole day. Talent covering Zipolite lists here on a subscription basis, and the platform handles the booking and the payment.
