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.

Shambhala Entrance
Besides being a spiritual retreat and host of an epic, free New Years party, Shambhala also serves up some of the best food in Zipolite (if not THE best food in Zipolite). For my breakfast visit I had huevos oaxaquenas, which is eggs scrambled in a spicy tomato sauce, along with beans and potatoes. Wanting some fruit as well I opted for a smoothie made with fresh fruit and their house-made, thick, tangy yogurt. I credit that good bacteria with keeping my digestive track happy! When I had a chance to sample some of their dinner dishes I was also very impressed. The menu is varied and features food and flavors from around the world, all made with care. The restaurant is perched high atop a hill overlooking the beach, and is probably the most beautiful place to take in the view of Zipolite. Don't miss a meal (or two!) here!
