Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Sunday Post: Landscape February 25, 2012 by reflectionsinapuddle

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.

Sunday Post: Landscape

February 25, 2012 by reflectionsinapuddle

It’s not Sunday yet (thanks God, because I am falling behind on my writing projects, and can use any minute of spare time I can get.) But I will gladly participate in this weekly photo challenge from Jakesprinters. This week’s theme is Landscape.

I took these shots during our trip to Huatulco, Mexico. It’s been one of the most picturesque locations I visited, almost like a photographer’s paradise.
