🏖️ Mermejita

Mermejita is a small beach village in the central part of Oaxaca's coast, west of San Agustinillo and Mazunte and east of Chacahua. Until recently, the area was completely uninhabited, but now it is attracting adventurers who are building Robinson Crusoe-style houses, using local materials. It is known as a nudist beach, and one of only two places in Oaxaca where the rare leatherback turtle nests.
