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.

Huatulco offshore after Carlotta
As expected, with a lot of debris in the water the first week after Carlotta brushed us in Huatulco, the rivers are really flowing and the dorado fishing has improved. They're still running small, haven't seen a proper bull or cow in months, but they seem a bit bigger every day. Pleasant surprise has been finding some summer yellowfin, which have been showing up around some massive schools of spinner dolphin 7-9 miles out. Today on a solo trip I got a couple of yellowfin 15 and 20 lbs, released a pair of sails 60 and 80 lbs, and got about a 6 lb dorado. Lost another nice sail too after about 20 jumps. I had decided this was going to be a dedicated marlin trip today but that pretty much guaranteed I'd catch everything but marlin.
