Great place for cocktails and spotting nudists
Zipolite is a 15 minute collectivo ride up the coast from San Agonstinillo and is a more established hippy community.
It is famous for nude bathing, which is particularly prevalent at the end of the beach closest to Mazunte.
Nestled behind a set of rocks which separates the main beach from a little cove is El Alquimista, a beautiful hotel, restaurant and bar.
With tables and beach loungers on the beach, this is a great spot to soak up the sun or hide under an umbrella while watching the locals strut their stuff.
It's debateable whether seeing the locals in the all-together will increase your appetite or convince you to hit the cocktails harder but they offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions...
The food here is a little more expensive than the norm but it is all served in a friendly and proffessional way and is delicious.
There is a hotel out the back which I can't comment on too much, but it looks particularly plush and exciting.

Semana Santa in Mexico: Watch a Reenactment of the Crucifixion of Christ MAR 29 Posted by TC
Semana Santa in Mexico: Watch a Reenactment of the Crucifixion of Christ
It’s Semana Santa (Holy Week) here in Mexico, the week before Easter, and lots of people have the week off work.
You can travel to the beach and face bigger crowds, traffic-choked highways, and inflated prices at hotels.
You can take a trip to one of Mexico’s famous magic towns – well-preserved colonial beauties, many of which are in the center of the country within easy reach of Mexico City, such as Taxco or Malinalco, or a larger colonial city: Queretaro, Puebla, Guanajato, and so many more.
(Or, if you are like me, you can stay home and catch up on WAY too much work.)
However, you don’t have to go far to have a great experience during Semana Santa. Thursday is jueves santo – holy Thursday – and in small towns and city neighborhoods all over Mexico, you can see a local teenager dress up as Jesus, carry a cross through town while getting whipped by his friends, and get crucified up on a hill.
I wrote all about it in my article Witness A Crucifixion in Mexico, which won 3rd place in Transition Abroad’s narrative writing contest last year.
Please read the article here, and check out some more pictures below.
Thanks for visiting!

Weather blamed for 14 deaths in 2 states
Weather blamed for 14 deaths in 2 states
Most of the victims drowned in floodwaters in Veracruz

Heavy rains, strong winds and hail have been blamed in the deaths of 14 people in Veracruz and Oaxaca since Thursday, where rivers have overflowed their banks, power has been cut and highways blocked due to landslides.
Eight of the deaths were in Veracruz, where most of the victims were swept away by flood waters in the municipalities of Atzalan, Medellín and Yanga. In one case the occupants of a taxi drowned after the vehicle was carried away by a strong current.
In Oaxaca, a helicopter owned by Teléfonos de México crashed, killing four people, and two others died after being struck by lightning in the Zimatlán district.
The Telmex helicopter was working in Santa María Chilchotla near the Puebla border when the pilot lost visibility and struck a hillside.
Civil Protection authorities say 414 homes have been damaged in 21 neighborhoods of Veracruz. Communication with nine communities has been severed and two bridges are out in Yanga and in Platón Sánchez.
Electrical service was lost in many communities, and drainage systems were not functioning due to chunks of ice formed by compacted hail.
At least 80 people are being housed in shelters in three communities.
The storm, brought on by Cold Front #43, also delivered high winds with gusts up to 49 km/h
