Zipolite

The best time to visit Zipolite is during the dry season, from November to April. The weather is sunny and warm, with minimal rainfall, making it ideal for beach activities and exploring the surrounding areas. However, this is also the peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. The shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October) offer a good balance of pleasant weather and fewer tourists.

Zipolite is generally considered a safe destination for tourists. However, like any travel destination, it's important to take precautions. Be aware of your surroundings, especially at night, and avoid walking alone on the beach after dark. Keep your valuables secure and use common sense. The local community is welcoming, and petty theft is the most common concern.

Zipolite offers a variety of activities. Obviously, swimming, sunbathing, and surfing are popular. You can also enjoy yoga classes, explore the local shops and restaurants, and take day trips to nearby towns like Mazunte (known for its turtle sanctuary and cosmetics) and Puerto Ángel (a charming fishing village). Snorkeling and boat tours are also available.
