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.

Eating on the Beach in Zipolite
I really enjoyed my lunch at El Alquemista restaurant. I can't recall what I'd initially wanted to order, but I remember that it was too early in the day (maybe they hadn't turned on the pizza oven or something?). However, I was able to order pasta with creamy curry sauce and vegetables. The vegetables were just red bell peppers, but the creamy curry sauce was a real treat. After days of eating almost nothing but salad and fruit salad, I'd forgotten there were other flavors out there! The restaurant is located right on the beach and has tables in the sun, as well as the shade. There is a full bar and the most zen bathrooms I saw in Mexico. It's worth a visit!
