Playa Zipolite
As the name suggests, Playa Zipolite is located in Mexico. The name, originated from a dialect of the area, is translated into “beach of the dead.” One popular explanation of the name refers to the fatal undercurrents offshore.

Another interpretation of the name stems from an old local legend, according to which the natives of the area offered the bodies of their dead to the sea. One way or another, next time you visit Mexico, you’re advised to find another beach!
