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.

The Perfect Place for a Relaxing Getaway

We spent a glorious week at Casa Colibri. The property was absolutely amazing, with beautiful views of the ocean. We loved drinking our coffee in the open palapa first thing in the morning, and spent most of the day lounging by the pool and walking the beach. The rooms are bright and open, with lots of comfortable places for your afternoon nap. The staff were fabulous, and they always made sure we were well taken care of. We loved trying out the different restaurants in Zicatella, and enjoyed some of the most delicious margaritas we have ever had. We are counting the days until we get to come back!

Owner's Response: Glad you had such a great time! We also love long leisurely breakfasts watching the ocean, and often the dolphins! I know the staff enjoyed looking after you. You are welcome back at any time.
Best regards,
Penny & Joe
