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.

WHERE TO EAT AND DRINK


WHERE TO EAT AND DRINK

La Mora Cafe
La Mora Cafe
Mornings are bliss have a freshly brewed latte at La Mora on the outdoor deck overlooking the ocean. This delightful cappuccino bar is right across the street from our house.  Big draw is the WiFi with small laptops for rent  for those going unhooked into Mexico. Owners Nacho and his wife Rosie are perfect hosts with time for detailed help exploring the area.
La Termita Pizza
La Termita Pizza
For dinner drop in to La Termita -an Italian boutique hotel right on the beach that serves delicious pizza in a multitude of toppings cooked in their wood burning oven. Pick a table on the beach and watch the stars dance.
Casa Magica
Casa Magica
To find Casa Magica follow the sign on the main road and look for the magnificent Bougainvillea cascading from the 2nd floor where the bar is located.  Paulina and her son Derek are the proprietors of this popular late night watering hole where old and new friends meet for drinks and a game of pool or darts cards or conversation. The music is lively and special calendar occasions are celebrated with gusto! Just up the hill from Casa Mihale you can stroll home here with no road blocks!
