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.

Thanks to everyone that has supported and continues to support this project. It is so great to be here and hear all the energy around seeing the first film about this town. I went to the radio last night to advertise the screening and just uploaded a picture and some other videos into the gallery. Love to everyone.

Great job, Jeff!!!! Wishing you luck to reach your goal. Yes, praise the work of lifeguards! -one of my friends voluteers in Zipolite. And thank you for getting the word out about Pina Palmera! I have the privilege to do short-term volunteering, offering massage up to twice a year for the residents, the workers and other volunteers. They do amazing work for the community it’s the least I could do to give back :)
