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.

Even without a guidebook, you can search LP's Hotel tab.
You can also search past posts on this forum for "Puerto
Escodido Lodging" or hotels or hostels.

Puerto Escondido offers five beaches. Zicatela is suitable for
surfing only, but Playa Marinero to the right of Zicatela as you face
the ocean has gentle waves. A short drive or 3/4 mile cab ride
takes you northwest to Puerto Angelito and two beaches in a cove. 
A little further northwest is another cove, Playa Carrizalillo. Find 
Shalom there for lodging and camping. In the center of PE, I like 
Palma de Cortez for camping and Posada Cortez across the main 
street for lodging. 
Lodging from $7.50 USD a night up to $150 is available in Puerto
Escondido.
