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.

Question about Mexico?

Matt L

Question about Mexico?

Where is a place down south in Mexico that is alway's hot and got good beaches.....and how does the money change work(like where you switch money)

mar

The state of Quintana Roo has great beaches... sand is white and the sea is clear and transparent with different shades of blues. Cancun and the Riviera Maya have this beauty. The money exchange is about 10 to 11 pesos to the dollar and there are places all over to exchange the money you can also change it at any bank near you.

Cancun, Playa del Carmen, most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. Sand is ALWAYS cool to the touch and the water is warm and chrystal clear. Most hotels and restaurants exchange money. Almost all take the US Dollars. There's really no need to exchange your money.

in the coast of Oaxaca you will find great and beautiful beaches, like Puerto escondido, Puerto Angel, Zipolite, mazunte, Huatulco.

If you want "always hot", then Acapulco is your place to go... been there several different times of the year and it's always hot than a muther *******... I wouldn't say it's the best beach either, but defintely don't have to worry about cooling temperatures...

yeah i agree with 50 cent but i think its more like $ 110 dollars for five girl but hell there worth it :-)
