Discover the enchanting attraction of Zipolite, a hidden gem nestled along Oaxaca’s Pacific coast, just 75 minutes from Huatulco! Zipolite is a quintessential Mexican beach town both relaxed and vibrant. Zipolite’s claim to fame is its nude beach. In fact, since 2016, Playa Zipolite is Mexico’s first and only legal nude beach. It’s not required to be nude, however, most beachgoers stick to their swimwear. Our day will include shopping, swimming in the sparkling ocean, sunbathing, and an eclectic three-course lunch with cold drinks at the hotel that put Zipolite on the map. Next stop, a mezcal tasting (the Oaxacan spirit of choice). Last stop: in hand – your beverage of choice — as you sit on a swing under a beach hut and the sand tickles your toes. Of course, you’ll have a spectacular ocean view.

One happy crew!
I always try and go the extra mile at Christmas to thank my staff for all their loyalty and hard work all year. There is a new, small, excellent tour company named Next Stop Huatulco that has opened and they do fun and different experiences. I decided to splurge and spend a day and quite a bit of the evening in Zipolite. We settled in at the best known hotel in Zipolite. Some of the younger people decided to take a quick visit to Mazunte just up the road. A driver was available. If we wanted something that was not on the agenda like a mezcal tasting our impressive guide Maryrose could make it happen. Some of the gang went shopping, but most were swimming, tanning, eating, drinking, relaxing, laughing and thoroughly enjoying themselves. The best part of this day for myself was watching my gang interact and genuinely enjoy each. I am a one lucky guy.

A Fantastic Day at Zipolite. Awesome guide.
My wife and I were staying in La Crucecita and had heard a lot about Zipolite, but we were a bit hesitant to go on our own. Thankfully, we decided to join the Zipolite tour, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Maryrose, was fantastic—her warmth, expertise, and passion for the region truly made the day special. Before heading to Zipolite, we stopped in a charming little town that set the perfect tone for the adventure. It had such a wonderful, authentic Mexican feel, and we loved exploring its streets. We also visited a local market where we found some unique items that we couldn't resist. Zipolite itself was breathtaking—its laid-back vibe and stunning beach views were amazing, and Maryrose shared so much about the area. One of the highlights was the beachfront restaurant she took us to. The food was delicious, the views were incredible, and it was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with a great vibe, great food, and a wonderful guide. If you're thinking of exploring the Oaxacan coast, I highly recommend this tour—Maryrose truly makes it an experience you won't forget. Great value for such an awesome day. Thanks, Maryrose!

500 months was worth the wait
My husband and I were celebrating our 500 month wedding anniversary in Huatulco. The concierge at our hotel told us about a new small tour company that offered a day trip to Zipolite. We love Mexico and have been countless times in the course of our marriage, but had never visited a small, totally authentic beach town. Maryrose our FUN guide was very accodating. She told us there was a big market every Monday in city on the way to Zipolite. I LOVE markets and we made a divination. I combed the market. Next deviation to another small beach town full of young kids on their laptops and carrying their surfboards. We made a brief pit stop at a co-op where indigenous woman make 100% organic lotions, shampoos, soaps, etc.. I left with a big hual. When we arrived in Zipolite we did some shopping on the only short main road (which was a dirt road) where the stores are located. We had lunch at a perfect beach restaurant that is part of the hotel that is considered the best in Zipolite. We opted to sit on the beach under a huge umbrella on comfortable lounge chairs instead of the restaurant which is on the beach as well with a covered roof and fans. After a fabulous lunch of fish and seafood we went swimming and soaked in the sun. Next stop a mezcal tasting. A first for us. We are alway eager to try new and local experiences. This alcohol is an acquired taste. The owner was extremely knowable and we learned about the drink of choice in Oaxaca. As we headed home we finished the day at beach bar that only has swings for seating. It is right on the beach and was a perfect end to our adventurous day.

The VIP Treatment
I live in Huatulco and a some of my university friends were getting together for a reunion. I was tasked with the responsibility of organizing a day out for the group. Most of my friends have been to Huatulco to visit me so I wanted to come up with something new and different. My assistant had just had arranged a night out for her friend - a bride to be. She found a new company called Next Stop Huatulco. I Googled the company and saw a tour called Zipolite - A Carefree Day that could potentially be a perfect day out. I worked with Maryrose (the founder) and we crafted an itinerary that was slightly different and better suited for the day. We had a excellent time! We left early and returned late and exhausted from fun, sun, laughter, food, drinks, swimming, a mezcal tasting and one last stop for beverages sitting on swings at a beach bar at sunset. My friends thought the day was refreshing to do something genuinely different. Thank you to Maryrose and to all those who treated us like VIP's!

Zipolite - A Care Free Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Huatulco.
How much does Zipolite - A Care Free Day cost?
+
Prices start at $600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Huatulco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Zipolite - A Care Free Day take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Huatulco is not rushed.
Is Zipolite - A Care Free Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Huatulco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zipolite - A Care Free Day?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Zipolite - A Care Free Day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zipolite - A Care Free Day?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Huatulco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Huatulco and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zipolite - A Care Free Day start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Huatulco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Huatulco?

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Huatulco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Huatulco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
