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.

Nike expands Wave of the Winter for summer-long contest at Mexican Pipeline
Huntington Beach, CA (PRWEB) June 02, 2012
Surfline is pleased to announce the inaugural Wave of the Summer event, presented by Nike, taking place at Puerto Escondido's Playa Zicatela in Oaxaca, Mexico. Riding off the Wave of the Winter's successful first two years, Surfline and Nike are mirroring the same concept from June 1st – August 31st, 2012 at the Mexican Pipeline.
Wave of the Summer awards the single-best ride of the season at Puerto Escondido captured on video. And with no shortage of local chargers and tube-hungry international talent consistently gracing the Zicatela waters, we're in for a memorable first season.
The Wave of the Summer judging panel includes longtime Puerto charger/visitor, Peter Mel, local surf legends, Roger Ramirez and Roberto Salinas, and iconic Zicatela photographer, Ruben Pina. The judges will rank their top ten entries and a single winner will be determined from their collective votes.
The winner will receive $15,000 and the videographer who captures the noteworthy ride will receive $5,000. Additionally, a special Overall Performance Award, presented by the State of Oaxaca Tourism, will recognize the season's top standout with a check for $5,000.
Nike's Peter Jasienski explains, "It's time to elevate this very special region of the world where so many ground-breaking performances occur year after year."
Entries will be posted on Surfline.com throughout the entire contest period and a winner will be announced in early September.
