A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.ivan

Why This Remote Oaxacan Beach Town Is High On LGBTQ+ Travellers’ Lists Right Now
For years, queer travellers visiting Mexico have been beelined to Puerto Vallarta, lured by its packed nightclubs, lively terrace bars, and LGBTQ-friendly atmosphere. Lately, though, a tiny Oaxacan beach town called Zipolite has drawn more and more travellers, in part because of its departure from Mexico’s more polished destinations. By Kyle A. Valenta
“What drew me to Zipolite was the openness and freedom to be who you are or want to become,” Vincente, the owner of ChiZme (Zipolite’s first official queer bar), told Travel + Leisure. “It was a refreshing change from the overdone, overpolished, glitzier places…The rawness and the freedom were and are the enchantment of this place. The icing on the cake was that it was gay-friendly.”
That freedom comes from many sources. For starters, Zipolite is Mexico‘s only official nude beach. It’s also relatively isolated, with just two small airports around an hour away over twisting, turning, and deeply rutted roads. But Zipolite’s countercultural roots go back deeper in history. Fishermen were the only residents here until Gloria’s Shambhala opened its doors in the 1970s. This hammocks-and-huts spot on the rugged western end of the beach quickly drew intrepid hippies and backpackers looking to escape it all. The neon sunsets, breaching whales, and long crest of golden sand only sweetened the deal.
Despite its gay-friendly reputation, there were no explicitly queer destinations in town until 2018, when Vincente opened ChiZme. “I originally wanted to open as a small queer coffee shop to provide the LGBT community with a small, safe gathering space to call our own (since Zipolite had no such place),” he said. “But in this heat, who wants coffee? So a bar it quickly became.”
ChiZme recently moved into a larger space, and the town’s official LGBTQ-friendly offerings now also include Demetria, located right on the Oaxacan beach. Even more recently, DJs from Mexico City’s queer club scene — including Traición and Pervert — have been throwing parties at beachfront venues and on Playa del Amor (Zipolite’s de facto queer nude beach, and one of its prettiest).
While Zipolite’s hippie hedonism is definitely a traveller magnet, the town’s holistic side is equally alive. Hugo Valton, chef and owner of Les Délices, moved to Zipolite two years ago after a seven-year stint as a marketing manager in Mexico City. “Zipolite was the perfect spot for me,” he told T+L. “It’s an oasis for mindfulness and offers health for the body and spirit: great fruits and vegetables, luxurious vegetation, medicinal plants, handcrafted products, yoga and meditation classes, great air quality, and tranquillity.”
That led him to plant deeper roots in Zipolite. “I always wanted to live on the beach and in a quiet place,” he said. “I first ran a guest house to finally make my dream come true and opened my French restaurant, Les Délices, in December 2020.” Of course, with the town’s bohemian atmosphere drawing more and more visitors (and more big-money development), Zipolite could easily turn into an overtouristed destination. And that’s not lost on residents.
“Zipolite has always attracted a very cosmopolitan alternative crowd,” Vincente said. “Not a day goes by where I don’t hear at least four or five languages.” However, bigger, influencer-ready hotels have already planted beachside roots and loud beach clubs are becoming more common. “We have alternative tourists that can deal with less-than-ideal comforts, but little by little, they want more things that will take away from what makes Zipolite special,” he continued. “Once upon a time a hippie haven, the current renaissance is a bit less raw, a bit less rustic.”
For now, though, Zipolite is an under-the-radar dream for queer travellers who don’t mind being a bit unplugged. Literally. “Fortunately we have lousy internet and cell phone service, so that will limit some of the tourists we get,” Vincente said.
Read on for a quick cheat sheet on this Oaxacan beach town’s greatest hits.
Where to stay
Luxe comforts aren’t Zipolite’s strong suit — few hotels offer air-conditioning, and stable Wi-Fi is a pipe dream. El Alquimista is one of the higher-end offerings in town and has a secluded spot at the west end of the beach. Rooms range from beachfront bungalows to hillside suites, and the beachfront here can feel like a queer bar on busy days. But if a pool and air-conditioning are a must, check out Villa Aikia, which faces west on a rocky slope with stellar views of Playa Camaron and incredible sunsets. Casa Nudista — near ChiZme in town — also makes for a great queer-friendly option.
Where to eat
Start your day off by tucking into breakfast with a view at Gula Gula, where handmade breads and pastries pair well with fresh tropical juices. Healthier, but equally awesome, breakfasts are on offer at Valton’s restaurant, Les Délices, which is right in the middle of town (though he also whips up excellent sweets and pastries for the more indulgent foodie).
For lunch, flag down one of the vendors that ply Zipolite’s beach. Tacos dorados — filled with potatoes or fish and slathered with intensely spicy guacamole, lettuce, and queso fresco — are standard, though everything from chilli-garlic roasted peanuts to tamales are on offer as well.
For dinner, La Providencia is one of the most romantic spots in town and has great seafood, while Entropia is a phenomenal choice that uses local Oaxacan ingredients and sits right on Zipolite’s main drag. Perhaps surprisingly, the best food in town might come from the wood-burning oven of two Italian expats at La Fenice. Their pizza Napoletana, perfectly singed and chewy, pairs well with a cold beer after a day in Zipolite’s intense sun.
Where to drink
Just off the Adoquín (Zipolite’s main drag and town centre), Vincente’s ChiZme is the go-to for drinks in good company. Plus, as the first queer bar in Zipolite, it’s a part of history. Alternatively, Demetria sits right on the beach and slings cocktails with a side of reggaeton. It’s also worth checking out Lyoban guest house, which has excellent sunset views and has recently been known to host queer-friendly dance parties right on the sand.
