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.

**Update June 16- 7:05 PST- I have seen a few photos, the place beside La Choza was flatten, there is a lot of debris and damage on the main street, but I know from the past that the people of Zipolite will have it cleaned up quickly. I only saw a few photos you can see them on the Facebook page for Zipolite. I am still waiting to hear how Roca Blanca Posada and Shambhala faired. There are alot of trees down so it will be a bit. https://www.facebook.com/groups/5258919189/

Carlotta has passed Zipolite now, but we haven't had actual word from anyone. There have been reports that there are no lights or power, I'm sure it's going to take a while for that to get fixed. I'm saying prayers everyone is safe and there is not to much damage. Someone posted that they had talked to their family, and that all was fine, just lots of trees down and no cells or electricity.

Here is a video of Casa De Sol. I believe it's right behind Shambhala so it will give you a good indication of what happened there yesterday.

Here is a good link to other videos and infohttp://aguapasada.wordpress.com/
