Zipolite is one of the highlights for a gay or nudist visitor to Mexico. It has Mexico's only genuine nude beach and the whole town is very gay friendly. The beautiful approximately 2 km long beach is fronted by a collection of beachside restaurants and hotels. Nudity is entirely accepted and normal on the entire beach as are displays of affection between same-sex couples.
