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.

 Tropical Depression 2-E? 
I see on Wunderground a storm developing TD-2E, any thoughts on how this could impact the Huatulco area this week since we our scheduled to arrive on Thursday? It says it could develop into a Hurricane.

for Huatulco
Looking at the projected storm path I would say it won't impact Huatulco at all.

It looks like Two-E is headed between Manzanillo and Zihuatanejo, and even missing Acapulco which is way west and north of Huatulco. For more information see:

The surfers are probably hoping for some good wave action.

Hola.
Looks like “Two-E” has become Tropical Storm “Bud” and is well west and north of Huatulco.
