Playa Zipolite is a beach community located in San Pedro Pochutla municipality on the southern coast of Oaxaca state in Mexico between Huatulco and Puerto Escondido.

Contents

Zipolite is best known as being Mexico's first and only legal public nude beach [1] and for retaining much of the hippie culture that made it notable in the 1970s. The beach is popular with foreign tourists, especially backpackers, who stay in one of the many rustic cabins or camping spaces that line the beach. The locals refer to this place as the "Beach of the Dead": although it is very popular and close to many attractive resorts, it is also the deadliest beach in Mexico, taking around 50 swimmers every year due to its heavy current. [2] [3]

Name origin

The origin of the name Zipolite has been lost over time. Translated from Zapotec, it means "beach of the dead". Some versions have that referring to dangerous underwater currents just offshore. [4] [5] [6] Locals say the Zapotecs offered the bodies of their dead to the sea, and it is the consequence for why the beach was unoccupied until alternative foreigners started arriving here in 1969. [7] Other versions has it coming from the Nahuatl word sipolitlan or zipotli, meaning "bumpy place" or "place of continuous bumps or hills". [8]

History

Archeological finds at the east end of the beach shows that the area has a long history, but for the first half of the 20th century only one family lived here. [4] Formerly a fishing village, [9] in the 1960s and 1970s, counterculture hippies began to congregate here in part due to the beach’s isolated nature. At the time, there was little law enforcement, and drug use became common. [5] In the 1970s and 1980s the beach gained a reputation in Mexico and among foreign travelers as a free-love paradise. [8]

Since records began, Zipolite has been hit by three hurricanes; two in the 1990s and one in May 2022. The town has also been devastated by fires in, early 2000s, and most recently in late May of 2022 a by product of the hurricane at that time. The first hurricane was Hurricane Pauline on 7 October 1997, a category four storm which destroyed nearly everything in town with strong flooding, leaving it -along with Mazunte and Puerto Ángel- cut off from the mainland, [10] but there were no deaths. [4] [11] Next was Hurricane Rick on 9 November 1997. While not as strong as Pauline, the storm damaged roads and other infrastructure that was only partially rebuilt after Pauline. [11] In 2022, Hurricane Agatha, the most powerful May hurricane along Mexico's Pacific coast since 1949, formed from a surface trough south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec, intensifying rapidly into a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 110 mph. Making landfall west of Puerto Ángel, Oaxaca, it weakened quickly inland, causing landslides and flash floods in Oaxaca, resulting in at least 9 fatalities and 6 missing persons. Estimated losses reached $50 million, though the National Hurricane Center did not provide specific damage figures. [12]

A damaging fire occurred on 21 February 2001, burning many of the wood and palm-thatched structures that were on the beach. [13] And in the days after Hurricane Agatha, two of the most prominent hotels in the town, Nude and Naked, but had major fires due to damaged electrical.

Since its beginnings in the 1960s, Zipolite has evolved from handful of beachfront cabanas and palm-thatched palapas to concrete, but still basic, hotels and other structures with a few more amenities. Behind the line of beachfront construction is an area called Colonia Roca Blanca with a street known informally as the Adoquin which has become the town center. [14] Recently, the municipality has added tourist information services and police patrols on the beach both day and night during the busy season. [15]

The community

The community known as Zipolite consists of an approximately one-mile stretch of beach with a street that parallels it. It has a central neighborhood, Colonia Roca Blanca, situated at the western end where many of the hotels and restaurants are located. [16] Colonia Roca Blanca is named for the island or large rock just off the shore, which is white due to bird guano. [5] Until 2014, the main street was the only paved street within the community. It is officially called the “Paisan” but locals call it the Adoquín. The town now has three streets paved with yellow brick and stonework. Further behind the beach and Adoquín is a larger road that connects Zipolite with other local communities such as San Agustinillo and Puerto Angel. [16] [17]

There are no building codes enforced here, so constructions vary as to materials and quality. [5] There are no banking services here. An automated teller machine's (ATM) at Playa Zipolite Hotel (next to Casa Mexoni), in the Pharmacy below Move Gym, and also in the restaurant Sabor A Mar. [18] Several bank branches are in Pochutla. [4] [16] There is no currency exchange either, but many places take U.S. dollars. [16] Very few places accept credit cards. Almost all the establishments that face the beach have palapa sheltered restaurants and bars in front and lodging in the back. These lodgings can vary from wood huts, to simple concrete structures and often include hammocks and places to pitch tents. Most baths are shared. [16] There is no high-rise development here and almost none of the lodgings offer air conditioning or hot water. [19]

Zipolite also has a variety of restaurants from the standard Mexican to international cuisine and vegetarian choices. [16] [19] Many of the local restaurants are owned by expatriate Italians and serve pasta dishes as well as pizza. [16] [17] One restaurant serves crepes because of its French expatriate owner. Nightlife in Zipolite is subdued, however, in the high season (Nov. through May), some surprisingly good musicians pass through town.

Zipolite still attracts those drawn to the hippie lifestyle. [17] Attitudes about drug use, in particular marijuana, are also typically relaxed. The police station is largely unmanned, [16] but extra efforts for security are implemented during busy seasons such as Christmas and Easter week, and during Festival Nudista in February, supplementing the normal local auxiliary police with regular patrolmen from San Pedro Pochutla. Other efforts include checking for intoxicated drivers and boaters in Zipolite and other area beaches. [6] [20]

Zipolite can be reached by flying into Huatulco or Puerto Escondido and traveling on coastal highway 200. It can also be reached by road from Oaxaca City via the new highway (Autopista Oaxaca Puerto Escondido) and then on costal highway 200, which makes the total travel time from the state capitol about 3 hours. [21] From the highway Zipolite can be accessed from the intersections to either Mazunte or Puerto Angel by either collectivo or taxi.

Piña Palmera

Piña Palmera is a rehabilitation and educational center for disabled children and adults, from rural communities in Oaxaca state, the majority of whom are indigenous people. It is a private charity which has existed since the 1980s, and the charity has enrolled over five thousand people in one or more of its programs. Most of its staff is volunteer. The endeavor is supported by a Swedish charity and it not affiliated with any political or religious group. As of 2009, about 350 people are in their programs. [17] [22]

The Beach

Zipolite is a nearly pristine beach about forty meters wide and two km long, with medium grain gold colored sand. The water is clear with tones of blue and green. [23] This was one of the beaches featured in the Mexican hit movie Y tu mamá también . [17] It stretches from a small isolate cove called Playa del Amor on the east side to the new age Shambala retreat on the west end which is partially sheltered by rocks. Behind this is, sea cliffs rise. The beach is lined by palm trees and rustic cabins, hotel rooms and hammocks with a few more sophisticated lodgings on the west end. [14] [24] This beach is part of the Riviera Oaxaqueño, which includes the nearby beaches of Puerto Angel and San Agustinillo. [8] This beach is favored by foreign tourists, most of whom are backpackers and by the Mexican middle class, [3] [23] [17] especially during Holy Week vacation in Mexico. [6] and first weekend of February during the annual naturist festival, Festival Nudista Zipolite [25] organized by Federación Nudista de México [26] and the local hoteliers' association. The beach’s appeal stems from being one of very few beaches in which nudity is tolerated. Before it was mostly practiced on the sheltered far east Playa del Amor and the far west end, but recently the amount of nudists, also families with children, is growing also on the 'main' beach, probably thanks to some hotel owners becoming more open and flexible. [14] [16] [24] In 2016, the Pochutla municipality declared Playa Zipolite nudity legal. [27]

Swimming is practiced here but caution is strongly advised. Waves are strong in the afternoon, which is good for surfing and undertow is always strong. The ocean just offshore has strong currents that flow in circular patterns, some of which push swimmers toward shore and some which can pull swimmers out to sea. These currents are strong but not very wide. [14] [16] [28] Swimmers have regularly drowned, prompting the creation of a volunteer lifeguard team and a flag system to indicate where and when it is safest to swim. [5] The lifeguard team was founded in 1995 and trained by local charity Piña Palmera and U.S. citizen Joaquin Venado. In 1996, drownings at this beach were cut in half. [28] The lifeguard service as of 2009 has ten lifeguards, an ATV, a jet ski, radios and other equipment provided by the state government. [15] [20] From 2007 to 2009, there have been no drowning deaths at Zipolite, a record, but there have been 180 registered rescues. [15] [29]

Naturism and nudism

Nudity is legal on the beaches of Playa Zipolite, including Playa del Amor to the east of the main beach. [1] Elsewhere, Mexican law condemns only "immorality" and thus the issue ends up being a matter of the judge's criteria.

As of 2016, Playa Zipolite is Mexico's first and only legal nude beach. [1] A "free beach" and unofficially nudist for more than 40 years, it is reputed to be the best place for nudism in the country. The numerous nudists, and the long tradition, make it safe for nudism and naturism. Annually since 2016, on the first weekend of February, Zipolite has hosted Festival Nudista Zipolite [30] organized by the Federación Nudista de México. [31]

While most hotels and businesses in Zipolite require visitors to be clothed on the premises, there are establishments providing accommodations to those who wish to practice nudism off the beach as well as on it:

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico, the nudist festival was held on schedule from January 29 to February 1, 2021 with face masks recommended. [34]

The Costa Region or Costa Chica lies on the Pacific coast of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, south of the more mountainous Sierra Sur inland from the coast. It includes the districts of Jamiltepec, Juquila and Pochutla.

According to the Mexican government agency Conapo, Oaxaca is the third most economically marginalized states in Mexico. The state has 3.3% of the population but produces only 1.5% of the GNP. The main reason for this is the lack of infrastructure and education, especially in the interior of the state outside of the capital. Eighty percent of the state's municipalities do not meet federal minimums for housing and education. Most development projects are planned for the capital and the surrounding area. Little has been planned for the very rural areas and the state lacks the resources to implement them. The largest sector of Oaxaca's economy is agriculture, mostly done communally in ejidos or similar arrangements. About 31% of the population is employed in agriculture, about 50% in commerce and services and 22% in industry. The commerce sector dominates the gross domestic product at 65.4%, followed by industry/mining at 18.9% and agriculture at 15.7%.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Agatha</span> Category 2 Pacific hurricane in 2022

Hurricane Agatha was the strongest hurricane to make landfall along the Pacific coast of Mexico in the month of May since records began in 1949. The first named storm and the first hurricane of the 2022 Pacific hurricane season, Agatha originated from a surface trough south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. It steadily organized into a tropical depression early on May 28 and within hours intensified into Tropical Storm Agatha. Amid favorable environmental conditions, the cyclone underwent rapid intensification on May 29, strengthening into a Category 2 hurricane and reaching peak winds of 110 mph (180 km/h). Though the storm moved west-northwest early on, it curved toward the northeast in response to weakening high pressure over Mexico. On the afternoon of May 30, the hurricane made landfall just west of Puerto Ángel, Oaxaca, with slightly weaker winds of 105 mph (169 km/h).

Naturism in Uruguay is practiced at least since the 1960s, firstly by foreigners coming to Uruguay and later by Uruguayan naturists. It is being practiced on the two officially designated naturist beaches : Chihuahua beach in Maldonado that is the most known, and the other is La Sirena Beach in Rocha.

Naturism in Argentina is the movement supporting the practice of social nudism in the country. It began to be regularly performed in 1934, and it is being practiced nowadays, despite still being a taboo topic in the Argentine society. The most important nudist destinations include Escondida Beach, Querandí Beach, and Eden club in Buenos Aires Province, as well as Yatan Rumi in the Córdoba sierras.
