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.

  • Hi Guys thanks for all the good thoughts! Luckily there was no deaths on the coast, although the damage has been substantial; especially for the people with lamina roofs, palapa roofs or teja roofs. We still do not have electric but cellular service does come and go. Thanks again for your support and well wishes!

  • Thanks for posting this Joe - we understand there is no electricity or telephone yet in Zipolite but that everyone is ok. The older, adobe and wood/palm palapas came down but not as much damage as with Paulina in '97. Any news from you down there would be greatly appreciated by all of us out here. Be safe (and remember the sand will be full of glass and nails for weeks to come - wear shoes !) - after Pauline we pulled a fridge full of beer out of the sea 10 days after the wind !
