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.

San Agustinillo, Mazunte, and Ventanilla Mexico Photos


San Agustinillo, Mazunte, and Ventanilla Mexico Photos

On the Oaxacan Coast in Mexico there are a few different beaches and small towns, all with their own feel and attractions. Puerto Angel is mainly a fishing town, Zipolite is a nude beach full of young hippies, Mazunte is beautiful national park popular with backpackers, San Agustinillo is a tranquil little town with more upscale accommodation, and Ventanilla is the start of popular crocodile tours in the nearby mangroves. All of these beaches lie a short shared pick up or taxi ride away from each other, making it easy to explore all of them on a Oaxaca beach vacation.
