Zipolite Essentials

Zipolite is Oaxaca’s primary destination for clothing-optional sunbathing, spanning a two-kilometer stretch of Pacific coastline. This list highlights the main beach’s golden sands alongside secluded coves like Playa del Amor and Playa Las Cuevitas. It includes the Faro de Puerto Ángel lighthouse for panoramic coastal views and local dining landmarks like Piedra De Fuego. Visitors can navigate the central 'Adoquín' walkway to find the iconic town letters and established beachfront hubs like Hotel Nude.
