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.

When we arrived we had no idea, but there was a ´jazz´ music festival in Mazunte when, right on the beach! So my time in Mazunte consisted of, swimming and sunbathing in the day, having a couple of beers, some food and then watching some live music on the beach. I would hesitate to call it jazz though haha! Had a very funny couple of nights out chatting to musicians from all over. The best show was a wee lad from a town down the road, he was 8 and played guitar and sang with an adult band it was hilarious!

We stayed in an infamous hostel on the first night and then moved to a place on the beach so we had our own rooms with a fan and a double bed....how i´ve missed having my own room it was fab! One of the lads who worked there asked me every morning ´Sarita, bailar este moche?´ bless him, he must have been about 18 hahaha!

Met some lovely people here and bumped into some people we´d met already which is always a plus on the travelling trail. Spent about 5 days here and then headed inland on an overnight bus to San Cristobal.
