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.

Facedown Presents: SAVING GRACE video 'Oaxaca'

Spread the Social Love:

Saving Grace has released a new video for "Oaxaca", a song from their Strike Firstdebut Unbreakable. Vasely Sapunov explains:

In 2008 we were blessed to be able to partake in what was to date the most amazing spiritual experience of our band's career and ministry. We were privileged to tour Mexico with our friends in For Today and spent a lot of time doing ministry in orphanages in the region ofOaxaca. This song is about our time spent there and is a reflection of what we were going through being thrust into ministry in a third world country. God did so many incredible things during our time there and we wanted to make this video as a testament to the beautiful people and to this place that will forever be in our hearts.
NZONAIR chose to fund this music video for New Zealand television and we were stoked to be able to work with director Scott Hansen (Bury Your Dead, For Today, Impending Doom) to make this video and show some footage from our time spent inOaxaca, as well as to be able to film at a hallmark location from our home, the Tolaga Bay Wharf.

Please keep the people of Oaxaca in your constant prayers as they were hit by devastating earthquakes just a few months ago with many people losing their homes. We can't wait to go back one day.

Saving Grace just won by public vote the honor of performing on the main stage atParachute Festival in New Zealand on January 2013.
