Workation in Zipolite: the essentials
Locals call it the Beach of the Dead, and the name refers to the currents. Playa Zipolite, on the south coast of Oaxaca between Huatulco and Puerto Escondido, is about 2 km of sand with rip tides that make it one of Mexico's most dangerous places to swim. It is also the country's first legal nudist beach, still loyal to the hippie culture that made it known in the 1970s, with rustic cabins and palapa bars along the sand. Rooms fill up for the nudist festival in early February, and Huatulco airport is about 30 km away. Infrastructure is thin, power cuts happen and coworking is minimal, so bring your own connectivity plan.
