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.

A day at the beach!!

Sunrise was great!!

breakfast with an amazing view!!

Spent a good part of the day sitting here and out on the beach.

Looking back up at our hotel. We were in the top “bungalow”

At the beach this crazy goose kept attacking people.

Tall white guy taking a swim.

Then a nap.

This is the Hippie place we stayed. Built in the 60′s Thanks Ken for the musical interlude.

Great place to sit and enjoy!

Stairs to our place.

Some other cool places nearby.

Walking up to the meditation point on top of the hill, I enjoyed the hard work of the ants……. They were all heading down this morning when I checked out this area, in the afternoon, they were carrying leaves, flowers etc back to there nest. Hard working!
