I stayed two days in the area ad had no problems. Sure some on the beach were nude, but no big deal. The place seemed safe and very quite. More

There is 2 sections, be careful on the nudist section since the sea is kind of dangerous. But in the open beach section, is safe, beautiful, wonderful, the sunset is the best and water is warm and funny and the beach is really wide. Beautiful place for swim and have dinner in one of the multi charm restaurants. More

We sleep at Villa Escondida, a very nice place, 10 min walking from the beach, on the hill. The owner Giuliana is very friendly, the room are very cleaned and the garden is amazing. More

Zipolite" get's under ones skin". Once experienced, it is never to be forgotten ! Zipolite is the perfect place to get away from all of the hectic craziness in the world, a place to slow waaaaaaaay down ...." down South".

Shambala and El Alquemista) and an opportunity to meet interesting fellow travellers on the road. Cons: -There's definitely an edge here. We saw drug addicts passed out on the... More

I visited Zipolite for the first time in March 2005. Nothing I read on the internet prepared me for the best vacation of my life. If you're ready to give up the fancy hotels and hustle and bustle, it's the place to be. I stayed at a wonderful hotel called Brisa Marina and had no trouble adjusting to the lukewarm... More

Some friends of mine have told me about this beach, wich is located 20 minutes far from Puerto Escondido.
