A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

    Does anybody have any recommendations on a pocket size English / Spanish dictionary....just the basics would suffice.
    It would be nice to have a "pocket size" one to carry around with us when we go to Mexico.
    There appears to be quite a few choices on amazon.ca and I have no idea which one would be the least complexed.

    Check out Lonely Planet's Mexican Spanish Phrasebook.

    You might be better off just going to Chapters or McNally's. A number of years ago we purchased a pocket size English/Spanish dictionary and it is perfect.

    I've got an 'ole dog-eared copy of " Spanish for Travellers" by Berlitz. great size 4" x 51/2". Rudimentary... but keeps me out of trouble.
