Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Bachelors: Part II

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.

Is this you charging Puerto Escondido? Photo: Gilley

ROB GILLEY

Previously in denial about his photographic past, Rob Gilley now rummages through his trove of mediocrity.

Every surf photographer has them. A boatload of images without a name attached. A pile of “unidentifieds.”

It occurred to me that now, in this era of social media and cyber-connectivity, that there’s a way to possibly solve that. Give those photographs a public forum and let the World Wide Web attempt to link up these unidentified surfers with names. A public game of match making. Veritable hook-ups for some needy bachelors.

So let’s see how this game of Image Match goes. Check the photos below, see if it’s someone you recognize, and then post their name on the comment board.

Good Luck.
