Zipolite is supposed to be a nude beach, so why in all the images I find almost everyone wears a swimsuit?

Question

It says everywhere that Zipolite (in Oaxaca, Mexico) is a nude beach, but every time I look for pictures anywhere on the Net, everyone or almost everyone is wearing a swimsuit. What's with that? I'm not looking for pictures of naked girls; I'm planning a trip and I want to know what to expect.

And, what's the best time to go? Regarding amounts of people, mood, etc... what's the best time for a person or a couple to go and get comfortably naked.

Jokes and stupid answers please refrain.

Answer 1

Probably because most people do spend time at the beach with swimsuit in the ON position. I think you have to understand that clothing optional beaches in Mexico are rare, don't believe any public Playa's are legal. That said it doesn't mean you won't find places where clothing optional is "Tolerated by the locals". Zipolite has the reputation of being one of those destinations where a beach allows clothing optional activities. There is a rather pricey private place south of Puerto Vallarta that offers a beautiful stretch of beach as clothing optional to its guests. I believe its called Punta Serena, never been there but its strictly for registered guests.
If look hard enough in Mexico you will find a few places where people go to enjoy the sun without a suit but they usually keep that information to themselves. Time? When the sun is high.

Good luck

For me, it relies upon on situations like the elements, no matter if that is a sea coast or a pool, no matter if i'd like a tan or no longer, etc. If I were at some position new and not in any respect completely smooth with the ambience yet, i'd keep the suit on. If it became someplace i believe smooth, i'd pass topless or maybe nude. that is purely me yet i'm very conscious of my surroundings, and issues i am going to't clarify make me uncomfortable going, say, topless in certain environments. pass with what your instincts allow you to comprehend. in case you experience smooth to pass nude, and this is allowed, then by all skill pass nude.

I was in Zipolite last easter, only saw one naked person (she was fat and old!) Nudity is not permitted, but tolerated. Zipolite is full of hippies and new age stoners, not much else to do there and the sea is really rough. 10 minutes south is a town called Puerto Angel, this is a nicer place to visit if you want slightly better restaurants and accomodation, but it is still only really a fishing port with very little tourist aimed activities. North is Puerto Escondido which has better nightlife, restaurants, hotels, etc.
