Mexico.

This section lists some spots in Mexico which might be of interest to visitors from Canada, USA, or Europe.

Areas Listed.
Usage changes over time. I encourage you to use discretion in locating and using the locations listed.

Pacific Coast Mexico.

LORETO, BAJA: Diamond Eden Resort --- Closed.
Although still listed on other sites, I've seen reports that this resort has been torn down. [Jan 2010]

MANZANILLO: Punta Serena Villas and Spa. (GPS: N19 18.438 W104 49.873)
Adults only. Clothing is optional at the pool and beach. Located next door to BlueBay Los Angeles Locos (and owned by the same company), about 150 km south of Puerto Vallarta, near Manzanillo. Km 20 Carretera Federal 200, Tenacatita, Jalisco, Mexico. [July 2010]

GUADALAJARA: Rio Caliente Hot Springs Spa Resort.
Rio Caliente has segregated clothing-optional areas, but they are probably quite small. According to their website: "two enclosed plunge pools, one for men and one for women, for those who prefer nude sunbathing and swimming." [July 2010]

IXTAPA: Ixtapa Island.
"There is a nude beach on Ixtapa Island which is sanctioned by the government. The beach is about 100 yards long, fine tropical sand at one end, rocks at the other, with a wading pool beach entry and coral right after that. We were served by the local restaurant and enjoyed the place. It was safe and fun." [Gabef, July 2007]

OAXACA: Playa Zipolite. (GPS: N15 39.767 W96 30.567)
At the southern end of Mexico's Pacific coast, Zipolite beach became popular with Hippies in the 1960's and continues to attract people drawn to the Hippie lifestyle and cheap accomodations. According to Wikipedia: "The beach’s appeal stems from being one of very few beaches in which nudity is tolerated, however it is mostly practiced on the sheltered far east Playa del Amor and the far west end. It is one of the more crowded beaches in Oaxaca state. Swimming is practiced here but caution is strongly advised." [July 2007]

Atlantic Coast Mexico.

CANCUN: Playa Naturel --- Closed (2005?).

CANCUN: Caribbean Beach Club --- Closed.

PLAYA DEL CARMEN: Hidden Beach Resort Au Naturel Club. (GPS: N20 27.234 W87 16.341)
Clothing-optional. Adults only. Singles welcome. Swim-up suites available. Located just one hour south of Cancun Airport (26km south of Playa del Carmen), next to Eldorado Seaside Suites on a "stretch of white sand beach offering spectacular vistas of the Mexican Caribbean Sea." [July 2010]

TULUM: Cabanas Copal. (GPS: N20 10.735 W87 26.703)
Clothing-optional cabanas, 3km from the Tulum ruins on the southern end of the Mayan Riviera. The facility is described as "family-friendly" but does not provide activities for children. Although the property is beach-front, it is not a clothing-optional beach. (Other beaches in Tulum are clothing-optional.) [July 2010]

TULUM: Azulik. (GPS: N20 10.782 W87 26.687)
Adult-only resort, 3km from the Tulum ruins on the southern end of the Mayan Riviera. Azulik is next door to Copal and owned by the same company. Although the property is beach-front, it is not a clothing-optional beach. (Other beaches in Tulum are clothing-optional.) I couldn't find anything on the Azulik website that identified it as clothing-optional, but it is described as such on other websites by the same company (e.g., Maya Spa). [July 2010]

TULUM: Villa Dolce Vita.
A clothing-optional, beach-front B&B near Tulum on the southern end of the Mayan Riviera. [July 2010]

XCALAK: Playa Sonrisa. (GPS: N18 16.378 W87 50.265)
A clothing-optional, beach-front resort far to the south of the Mayan Riviera. (In fact, if it were any further south, it would be in Belize.) Playa Sonrisa caters mostly to nudist couples, though older children are welcome (conditionally). Day visits are allowed for registered naturist couples. [July 2010]
