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.

November Video: Tolo habla de Jaime/Tolo talks about Jaime



Tolo, a resident of Zipolite, member of the wheelchair basketball team and ex-patient at Piña Palmera, talks about his friend, Jaime. Tolo explains what most people that knew Jaime (before he died of stomach cancer) took for granted about him: despite his polio, he was exceptionally strong and a fantastic lifeguard.
Tolo, poblador de Zipolite, miembro del equipo de basketbol en sillas de ruedas, y ex-usuario de Piña Palmera, habla de su amigo, Jaime. Tolo explica lo que la majoria de la gente que conocieron a Jaime (antes de que se murió de cancer en su estomago) dieron por sentado: que, a pesar de su polio, Jaime era muy fuerte y un salvavida excepcional.
