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.

 Water Roughness 
Each day before our trip I have been looking at the live webcam in front of Dreams. The bay has always looked calm, but today there is white on top of the water all over the bay? Any idea what that is? It doesn't look particularly rough, and it isn't that windy either?

February and March are the months with more wind, some days more then others; Tangolunda Bay can be quite rough even with no wind.

Yes, we agree. We live in Bahia Chahue where the surf can be rough and unpredictable, though on other days it is calm and inviting. That said, there are other bays such as Entrega and San Agustin that are usually calm, and consequently usually quite crowded with sun worshipers and snorkelers.
