10Playa Zipolite, Mexico

Local legend has it that Zipolite in Nahuatl language translates to “beach of the dead.” This tiny patch of white sand is attracts everyone from backpackers to enthusiastic nudists seeking their time under the sun. The fearfully named Playa Zipolite features dangerous waves and currents. A 1995 established local lifeguard has led to a reduction in the number of drowning. It is one of the country’s last remaining nude beaches, while still being high on the 70’s hippie culture. Despite its dangerous currents, Playa Zipolite remains a popular choice with international backpackers, who choose to live in one of its earthy, rustic cabins or camping places lining the beach.

  2. Hello!
    I totally understand! I did so much traveling with the scouts when I was younger. Things slowed down for me when I took on more responsibilities in life.
    Still, don’t think you have to stop traveling completely! I think now it simply takes more planning. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and thanks for reading my stuff!
    Will
