Hola! Bienvenidos! Welcome to clothes optional (whoops) Zipolite!
Buenos dias good morning Country Collectors!
Today we are continuing our coastal oaxacan adventures and heading five kilometers east
from mazunte to mexico's only legal nude beach
playa zipolite! We're not really sure how today's gonna turn out it could end
up like an episode of naked and afraid like I get naked and she's afraid!
But before we get started make sure to hit the subscribe button and ring the bell
so you don't miss out on any of our future adventures. Alright let's go!
let's do this thing
Right now we're passing through San Agustinillo
which is located between mazunte and zipolite.
It has a beautiful beach and a lot of nice restaurants where you can stop and hang out
grab a quick bite and enjoy the view.
Woo hoo we made it!
Welcome to Zipolite!
But priorities people I need to fuel up. Let's go find some food! Come with us!
So this looks like the main road in town there's a ton of restaurants
and hotels but I heard of a place that's down a dirt road so let's go try to find it!
This place is super cute.
I feel like we're out in the jungle (we are out in the jungle) oh yeah I guess we are in the jungle thanks Heidi!
The shade is great the temperature is nice the birds are chirp chip chirping away
and we got the last table in the place so we saved you all a seat!
yes look at that!
Wow check this out it looks so good. I get the sweet and salty breakfast.
It's got a little bit of french toast that's made from a baguette. I love when they use
different kinds of breads for french toast and bacon and some eggs and Adam got...
I got the quiche con tocino or the quiche with bacon it looks so good let's jump in!
I feel like we haven't had quiche in so long!
I'll QUICHE you later!
That is really good! Yeah? I'm glad you like it.
Well that was divine it was delicious we definitely recommend checking this cafe out
when you're in Zipolite. Now we are gonna leave the bike here and
head back to that main road in town.
Oh and I just saw the sign for Nude Zipolite.
It's a hotel where you can be nude anywhere except in the restaurant.
That's probably the best policy!
It looks like this little road right here will take you straight out to the beach
but we're gonna keep continuing down this way.
We are starting in Colonia Roca Blanca.
This is the main traveler scene here in Zipolite.
This is where you're gonna find a lot of the accommodations and restaurants.
And while you're walking around make sure to keep those peepers peeping people.
I have heard that there is some beautiful street art throughout the town here.
Oh look at this cool little buggy!
Oh I love that!
And throughout town we've seen a lot of signs that are selling tours.
You can go see some bioluminescence or take a boat out to see the migrating whales.
And so far I am totally digging the vibe here.
It is a bit different from Mazunte.
I feel like it's more clean a little more like boho chic and a little bit less like hippie I guess...
I'm not saying that in like a bad way but yeah it's just the vibe I'm getting so, so far so good!
There's another little path there that goes down to the beach.
Oh look how cute this is! I love you!
Check out the name of this- a nice place on the beach!
Where people come to do nothing!
It looks incredible and that's exactly what you come to Zipolite for, to do nothing!
And look who it is.. Fred Flintstone just chillin' in Zipolite!
yabba dabadoo!
This little cobblestone street is so cute but I see the beach right in front of us let's go check it out!
It definitely looks like it may be a bit dangerous for swimming here!
So I do see red flags all down the beach but there are people in the water so I guess when you come
just be careful you know we want you to be safe. For me it looks a bit rough so I wouldn't go in
but we do see like people congregated together swimming so just stay near where other people are out enjoying the water.
Alright let's keep enjoying the beach!
Wow this beach is beautiful.
It stretches over a mile long!
All the way down at the end here is Playa del Amor that we're going to take you to later
but right now we're going to head in the opposite direction and see what's around!
Let's go!
It seems like here in Zipolite there's a lot more hotels right on the water like this the beach is a lot longer
and not just a cove. It's a great place to come!
So we shut off the camera as we continued down the beach because we saw a lot more nude people and
out of respect. I mean I would hate it if somebody came by me with a camera when I'm just trying to
like be free. Also bear in mind that it seems like it's at the ends of the beach that people
are primarily naked. We've seen a few naked people in between but there's way more people in bathing
suits or clothes. When you cross past the rocks this is where it seems like people really just
let it all out and feel free! Yeah and I absolutely love it! Like while we were walking along I
just got this sense of like I don't know this overwhelming feeling where I'm like yes
like looking at these people completely nude and they're just so secure of themselves it just made
me realize how hypersensitive we are back home and how it has actually caused so much more insecurity
and anxiety. Especially like social media the imagery the photoshopped women and men that
make us think that this is how our bodies are supposed to look when it's so far from reality.
It's absolutely right Heidi. And we want you Country Collectors out there to know that
we love you just the way you are you don't have to change anything. You are perfect to us! Seeing all
these people around we got the courage to get naked and just have fun in the water and feel
free. So we're gonna do that we're gonna turn off the camera again but we'll see you after!
So that was totally freeing! I took my top off and kept my bottoms on but Adam is still in the
buff! Does it count that I'm wearing sunglasses? I don't want to have an asterisk next to my nudity!
naked!
And I'm not afraid! Oh babe!
I think it's really cool you can come here and express yourself and..
And no one's judging you whether you are naked whether you're clothed it's just whatever's right for you.
And I appreciate that. Me too.
I feel free and naked!
And if you want to get naked at home it's okay too!
Thanks so much for coming along with us we're gonna hang out here just for a little bit then go grab some lunch!
Naked volleyball anyone?
This place over here looks nice and fun let's head in for some lunch!
We are here at Xhuba restaurant they have a lot of great options
on their menu. Tons of mariscos/seafood. They also have a lot of vegan and vegetarian options
which is really nice as well.
We are gonna go with the coconut shrimp and he's bringing us our juice right now!
Yeah wow look at that that's Maracuya (passion fruit) and Naranja (orange)!
So this lady was just walking down the beach selling cacahuates or peanuts.
I've never had a peanut lady try to sell me stuff before so I just went for it!
They were a little pricey 50 pesos or $2.50 for this plate but they are pretty damn good peanuts! Yeah they are!
I think you can get just about anything here though I imagine if you were in the buff or nude
it might be kind of tough to pay for something... i don't know..
I did see a lady walking around earlier completely naked but with a fanny pack!
Oh I mean that's good! Are you completely naked if you're wearing a fanny pack?
Yeah it's an accessory.
okay I can live with that!
Nude accessory!
Adam and I had this idea once to just sit on the beach and whenever a vendor came by we had to buy whatever
they were selling. If you think that's a good idea leave us a comment down below we'll make a special video just for you!
And something we've realized since being here is that there really aren't a ton of like activities.
The activity is just doing this.
Hanging out at the beach, getting some food, relaxing, chilling in the buff - you know?
I can get down with that! Eating, being naked and going to the beach!
Stop!
Now he's all about being naked now!
I'm addicted people. I think I might becoming a nudista!
We're so glad you came along and we can't wait to share shum ... share-shum, we'd love to share-shum with you!
Share some say that 10 times fast, coconut shrimp with you!
Woah check this coconut shrimp out!
And we got some guacamole as well.
This is humongous!
Just the way I like it! This looks amazing.
Oh man! So that is coconut shrimp. That's fresh shrimp
with shaved coconut on it. Wow! And the sauce is a pineapple sauce. This is so good!
Ten out of ten?
Ten out of ten!
yeah baby!
Before we let the sound of the ocean lull us to sleep
we're gonna grab our motorbike and head down to Playa del Amor and show you some more!
What'd you say?
Come along!
So by now you're probably wondering well how do I get there?
If you're in Muzunte you can either rent a scooter or a four-wheeler
you can hop on a pasajero which is a shared form of transportation
that runs between the towns.
If you are flying in you can fly into Huatulco,
and then get a car from there.
Or if you're going to Puerto Escondido you can do the same from there.
Whichever you do just get your buns here! Alight let's hop on this and get cruisin'!
We're making a right to turn back on the main road and head down to Playa del Amor.
We've heard it's the best spot for sunset!
Ah this shade feels so good and being on the motorbike that little bit of breeze!
One of my favorite ways to get anywhere!
We saw the Zipolite sign back over here
so we're gonna go get a picture with it!
And there's their soccer field and basketball courts.
I believe we are in El Centro which is the more residential area.
It's a little pot-holy like Adam would say.
Yeah oh wow yes a little off-roading!
Oh yeah there's the sign right over there.
Zipolite!
And we are headed right over here we're going to hike up those rocks and go to the other side to Playa del Amor.
Mi amor!
Aww mi amor, mi mariposa!
Like we said before down at the other end by the rocks that seem to be a little more nude
and down here as we get to the end it's definitely more nude.
There's actually a masseuse that is a naked masseuse.
So you could say you gotta naked massage even if you're not naked.
But chances are you'll be naked too. I mean you might as well!
Looks like this is where we park to go to the beach.
How's that for front row parking?
Pretty good. Sounds like rock star parking to me! okay!
And we actually had to ask how to get here because as you can see
it is a little hidden. So if you're around here just ask a local and they'll point you in the
right direction. They said there should be some steps and a little sign that says Playa del Amor.
Wow check out this beach below!
That is stunning!
And throughout the whole day this is definitely where we have seen the most nude people so
we are gonna shut the camera off until we get into a little private
place where we're not filming you know anyone.
Alright let's head down!
It's so cool down here there's a tiny little cove it actually has two separate beaches
that have a huge rock in between them.
The one we're on right now is this like tiny little private beach
it looks pretty awesome. Yeah no one's over here so we can film.
But the water comes in and like sucks out so that's why no one's swimming because it's pretty dangerous here.
But on the other side people are swimming.
There is a guy coming down the cliff who's naked with just a fanny pack on.
I love it!
There's Adam out there! You better be careful!
I did want to mention something that I noticed here.
When we were coming down the stairs there was a big pride flag.
I did read before we came here that this beach in particular was gay a gay friendly beach.
So if you are looking for a vacation spot where you know you're gonna feel secure
in your own skin we definitely recommend coming here!
yeah.
Look at that smile!
It's a very special place.
Are we waiting for the sunset?
We are waiting for the sunset. We hope you will wait with us!
These lovely ladies behind us are making us some mezcal mojitos.
Doesn't that sound good?
As we're waiting for the sunset we are gonna say goodbye to you but don't you worry because we'll be back next week!
And we're going to miss you when you're not here so don't worry about it!
What did you think of today?
You know it really was a special day. I feel like we didn't do a ton of stuff
but that is the beauty of Zipolite is that it's a wonderful place to come and do nothing and wear nothing as well!
And I think it taught us a lot about like our bodies.
And you know when we came here I was like oh I'm not gonna get naked you know because I...
maybe I had this negative feeling about the way I looked or something and then we got here and I
saw these people just so feeling so good in their own skin and I'm like I want to feel like them!
And you know we bared it all and I think it taught us a lot.
Like gave us the this confidence that like I appreciate my body so much more now.
And it's not even something that's you know your fault it's we come from a culture
that makes you feel guilty for not having clothes on it makes you feel guilty for the way you look
from social media and all that stuff so...
Yeah look in the mirror tonight look at your body appreciate it like think about all the stuff that
it does for you every single day and just know your WEIGHT IS NOT YOUR WORTH
you are so much more. And if you're surrounding yourself with people who are judging you
based on any of this it's time to
kick them to the curb!
Very true very true.
It would have been nowhere near as much fun if you hadn't come along today.
It's so true so thank you so much for being here.
