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.

Iconic Puerto Escondido by Scott Ross

Scott Ross returns as an artist in our 12th Annual Art Gala with this iconic image from Puerto Escondido.  This digital print is framed and signed.

Scott's journey behind the lens started as he began documenting his travels from around the globe.  He's been lucky enough to have visited over 20 countries and experienced their cultures and customs.  His friends and family began to encourage his "natural talent" after viewing photojournalistic travel and people portraits.  He decided to get serious about it when friends began buying his photos.  Scott is currently refining his skills by taking photography classes at UCSD.

The experience he aims to convey is relaxed and casual.  It is at these moments when the subject forgets about the camera and their pure personality comes out.  These are special moments to treasure for a lifetime.  His clients can pick a favorite location or he can suggest a few for the style they want.  He trys to customize each photo shoot to compliment the personality.
