Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Another large chain store chooses Puerto

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.

Auto Zone, a large U.S. chain which sells auto parts and offers full service repairs and diagnosis, is under construction on the Coastal Highway next to Nissan. Auto Zone's website states that they recycle all used motor oil and batteries. That's a plus. According to the new store's architect, un caballero from Tampico, the terms of the construction contract call for the store to be completed at the end of August.

That another large chain has opted for Puerto Escondido speaks of an optimism I can't quite fathom, but it's certainly possible they know something I don't.

@ Dogtown, like they say in Spanish: "Que la boca se te haga chicharron"... (which implies the same as knock on wood).
I truly hope I never see those food chains in Puerto.

Whatever became of the Soriano store that was supposed to be built on the highway in Emiliano Zapata? Remember all the buzz?

Where is Emilio Zapate in relation to the El Che and Playa Zicatela? I assume this is nearby?
