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.

Authorities in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca are blaming Hurricane Carlotta for a third death.
Oaxaca state Attorney General Manuel de Jesus Lopez said Sunday that a 56-year-old woman died Friday night in a traffic accident blamed on the storm. Lopez said the woman was trying to find a safe place to ride out the storm when high winds flipped over her car.
Oaxaca state officials earlier reported that two sisters, ages 13 and 7, were killed Friday when a mudslide collapsed their home.
State civil protection officials are still tallying damage from the storm, which left thousands of people homeless.
Carlotta strengthened into a powerful Category 2 hurricane and reached land Friday evening as a Category 1 storm at the resort of Puerto Escondido. It rapidly weakened afterward.
