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.

Malia Obama Visits Mexico

Mexican officials said a trip to the country made by 13-year-old Malia Obama, U.S. President Barack Obama's daughter, was a "a compliment."

While in Oaxaca on a trip planned through her school, Malia volunteered at an orphanage, visited archaeological sites and hung out in the town plaza, The New York Times reported Thursday.

U.S. State Department travel advisories have been hurtful to Mexico's tourism, especially a spring break warning issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety suggesting that Texans avoid Mexico altogether.

"It's a compliment that the daughter of President Obama and her friends have decided to live the experience of Oaxaca," said Jose Zorrilla, the state secretary for tourism and economic development.

The White House ordered English-language media outlets pull stories of Malia's trip from their Web sites this week. The blackout was lifted Tuesday after earthquakes hit Mexico to assure everybody she was safe.

Zorrilla said the visit was not as secretive in Mexico: "The reality is that Oaxaca isn't that big and it isn't that easy to hide 10 girls and that security."
