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.

Eagle Harbor near Seattle!
Well I've arrived! After 51 hours of little sleep! The way here is not for the faint of heart!!!! 5 hours on the first plane, 3 hours on the second plane and 12 gruelling hours on a bus! But I just met the owner properly after my 7 hour nap,and had a couple beers with him. 

I did before i left...go for a mind cleansing ferry ride in Seattle to clear my head. Certainly needed. Not had a chance to look around much as I was buggered when I arrived and promptly crashed,but will post a couple pictures from Seattle and only one from here then hit the bed as I'm still tired and the 2 beers made this worse.
