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.

Hello all!! I am planning a trip to Huatulco sometime in the next month or so and was looking for some input as to when a good time to come would be. I was looking at either June or July. I haven't been to Huatulco in over 5 years and am really excited to be coming back. I do look in to this forum every once in awhile and enjoy reading about what is going on there in Huatulco. I know Wayne, Huatulco Travel Agency, Mina, and Maria always have great input and great information. Looking forward to any tips or suggestions you guys might have. Thanks in advance.

Well welcome back, but I am sure Wayne, Mina as well as Maria would tell you, don't pay any attenion to what Huatulco Travel Agency says for starters.

Actually HTA does have good insight.

And Lee, all I can say right now is have fun and if you are staying at one of the resorts, be sure to get out and explore the area. This time of year, you should be able to find great bargains at some of the villas and the small hotels in town.

To us anytime is a good time to be in Huatulco. We plan on being back the third week of July. April and May are probably the hotest and most humid. Probably being the key word. My wife is just now chatting with Giordana on the laptop and she can hardly wait for rain.

June and July are lush with varying amounts of rain...but it is warm rain. Just came in from Niagara Falls and it started to rain andit felt like ice pellets.

The rain can pick up in August a bit but September typically is the rainiest. We came in Early October last year and did not see rain for 6 months. I think September is the only month we have not been in Huatulco.

November and December normally have the least humidity and nice cooler nights.

Lee, whatever your schedule allows you will have a fine time back in paradise!

Frank is correct. Haloween is a fun time as well as an opportunity to observe some interesting culture and memorials at the local cemetaries.

Halloween til peak is certainly ideal; first two weeks of December are unbelievably good.
