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.

A Mexican base for Aussies – if you surf and thoroughly enjoy litre Coronas, you’re probably staying at Aqua Luna. We got the hot tip from Chong and a arrived to a pretty epic setup

According to the locals this was the most violent storm Puerto had seen in years. Building its fury in the afternoon, by night it was waging war on the coastline – tearing down trees, hammering beach front realestate

The last 3 days, icey offshore winds were so strong in the morning you need a jumper as soon as you wake up. The 1st day frosted the water up so much, everyone was scrambling for any neoprene they could find

It seems like these posts are finding a bit of a trend – not that we weren’t getting 1 or 2 surfs in a day, but its like there’s a vibe in the Mexican air that drives us to get on it.
