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.ivan

El Nene is a humble little restaurant in La Rinconada near Playa Carrizallilo that we enjoy. Also love the restaurant at the Villas Carrizalillo. El Jardin is also good. If you want upsca.e, Guaduaand the restaurant at Hotel Sante Fe are good choices. You can never go wrong at Cafecito. Enoy!

The best place to get tacos always seems to change. I'd inquire with locals for who is popular right now.
And, any place that looks busy all the time is often a sure bet.

I've done this route before and will actually be going down the coast again starting in Jan. I'll give you my tips.I liked La Paz. I took the overnight Ferry to Mazatlan and I suggest paying for a bed rather than sleeping on the floor anywhere on deck. I ended having a 4 bunk room to myself, which I promptly shared with a German backpacker.
Mazatlan is nice and good for a couple days. The roads south seemed good, which is to say I don't remember a painful experience on the Bus. I would guess that you could drive all the way down the coast to Pt Escondido in a couple days, so it comes down to where to stop.
I love Pt Vallarta and but also recommend a smaller surf town north of there called Salulita.
There are many small town all along the coast that are interest to visit. Research that with a LP guidebook.
Pt Escondido is lackluster in my view but I'll give it another shot soon. At least it's got some good Hostels. The real trick i to keep going south a little bit to Mazunte, Zipolite and Puerto Angel. My fav is Mazunte. I hope it hasn't changed too much. The first time I was there, they didn't have electricity. Last time, they had a few internet cafes.
I should warn that these southern beach spots are pretty wild at times as it's full-on beach nudity, drugs galore and a healthy rats-nest of beach thieves that will steal anything left alone for a moment. Taxi drivers are to be avoided whenever possible.
For danger, traffic and police always top the list. The road from pt escondido to Oaxaca city is crazy. It's all curves and you can see various cars and Buses in the ravines. Mazatlan is also in the "drug cartel zone", so it's important not to get mixed up in any of that there. I don't know how you're getting to La Paz but the roads down through Baja are... an experience. Rip currents also drown plenty of people on the southern beaches. Don't eat uncooked shellfish like shrimp in Mazatlan unless you want to experience rapid weight loss (or death).
