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.

Leave a positive footprint - When you're figuring which markets and restaurants and stores to visit, think about walking.

Bring small bills - Don't expect to get change for a small purchase if you are paying with a 200 or 500 peso note.
Bring change - Exact change is always appreciated.
Bring your own bags - No need to ask for a new bag if you can reuse an old one!
Ask before taking pictures - It's common courtesy, particularly for close-up shots. Better than taking a photo is printing out a photo from our Oaxaca Markets Collection -- find the vender and give them the copy.Be Generous
