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 waves in Puerto Escondido don’t have to be board and neck snapping beach break barrels to have fun…nowadays, surfers on those out of control days are being towed in…but, it’s still a challenging and dangerous wave even below double overhead…

We’re taking the liberty to redefine the last couple of weeks flat spell as the subject line suggests, leading up to today’s total flatness of surf…winter is going out like a lamb with 10 days officially left…
The good news is that the Southern Hemisphere is starting to come to life…hopefully, that means warmer water and playful swells…
I remember jumping on a plane to go to the “Mexican Pipeline”…Puerto Escondido’s Playa Zicatela…chasing an early Southern Hemisphere swell during one of these flat spells, to be met by some incredibly hard breaking, board and neck snapping beach break barrels…careful what you ask for…;-)
