Zipolite could be opened to visitors to the region
They want to return to normal
SAN PEDRO POCHUTLA, Oaxaca.- Zipolite residents agreed in an assembly to open the beach, restaurants and public spaces to local visitors and to neighboring municipalities, in order to revive the local economy.
After a few days ago, residents of the Nudist Beach of Mexico asked their auxiliary authorities to ponder the opening of businesses, particularly restaurants, to improve the local economy - severely affected by the tourist inactivity derived from the COVID-19 pandemic- Last weekend, residents of the town agreed to open businesses and a beach for residents of the region.

The opening of Zipolite beach contrasts with the announcement made last Sunday by the state governor Alejandro Murat Hinojosa, before the end of the National Sana Distance Day, who reported that the closure of public spaces, beaches and the restriction for The tourism.
Likewise, the determination is opposed to the disposition of the block of seven presidents of the Coast (among them, the mayor of Pochutla, Saymi Pineda Velasco) to keep the beaches closed to tourism, who through a statement reiterated their commitment to health of citizens after 71 cases of COVID-19 have been registered in the region.

Beaches must remain closed: mayor
Regarding the Zipolite inhabitants agreement, the mayor explained that despite respecting the decisions of the residents, the most prudent and beneficial for health is to keep the beaches closed, because although it has been pointed out that only local visitors will be given access, it is It is foreseeable that tourists from other regions and entities of the country will be allowed to come by the announcement made by auxiliary authorities.
He explained that as a result of such a decision, on Monday it was necessary to deny entry, through the filters, to at least 35 cars with tourists from entities such as Mexico City, Quintana Roo, Oaxaca capital and Campeche, who intended to go to the nudist beach for recreation.

Mexican Murals – A Small Glimpse of Zipolite stortebeker
Mexican Murals – A Small Glimpse of Zipolite
I’ve been waiting looong to make this post. To be exact, the post I had in mind was a thorough study of the many colorful murals you can find in this super chilled beach-town. Zipolite is a lot like Mazunte, and in certain aspects it surpasses it, such as in the mural department. For every wall painting here, there are at least five super cool ones in our neighbor village. And I was going to present the best of them… but then things came differently.
At first I was completely focused on work, deliberating only occasionally to do a mural tour of Zipolite on some weekend… but then we quickly ran out of weekends, especially once the lockdown really started getting enforced. Now that I’m leaving Mazunte (and the Oaxacan coast with it), I at least wanted to include two of my favorite wall paintings.
What Works on Textiles Looks Great on Walls Too
This first one follows the Oaxacan tradition of painting colorful flowers on black background. Derived from a indigenous style of embroidery, quite famous in this region, these designs can be seen not only on dresses and blouses, but also on cars and walls. In this case, it is a juice-bar / tourist shop, found on Pelicano street.
Style is Everything!
The other really cool mural I wanted to introduce here, is located only half a block from the previous one, on the corner of Pelicano and the main road. It is painted entirely in black on orange background, featuring animals of different types: birds, fish, butterflies, armadillos, jaguars, and iguanas.
All of them are painted in a mesmerizing geometrical pattern, accentuating their physical characteristics. There are also many plants, and stylized human-like faces all around, adding more mystery to the overall image, like they merely exist to create a ambient around the protagonistic fauna.
Much More Where This Came From
And like I said, this is just a kind of teaser for Zipolite. While murals are generally popular in Mexico, they are especially abundant in this artsy, hip, surfer-village, which unlike Mazunte cares A LOT about its appearance. If you’re ever on the Oaxacan coast, I can highly recommend visiting Zipolite, and not only for its clothing-optional beaches, which the place is famous for.
