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.

“Fishing Puerto Escondido in "the off season"”
5 of 5 starsReviewed July 16, 2012 NEW
I went fishing with Omar and Israel 2 times in mid July, "the off season". On the first trip, we caught 2 really nice sailfish. The water was perfect, so I went out again later in the week. By 10, we brought in another sailfish. We then proceeded to just miss 3 sailfish opportunities, where the sailfish were just so finicky, they wouldn't take the bait. Determined to catch one more, we stayed out, and hooked up with a big blue marlin. We fought the fish for over 2 hours, and finally brought it in. It was an amazing experience, and the expertise and professionalism of these guys made it happen. They are knowledgeable and know how to have fun on the water. Not only was the fishing great, but we saw birds, turtles, and over a 1000 dolphin. I will be back to fish with them in the future.

Don't miss this! Omar and Israel are such terrific, interesting people and the best guides you could ask for. Sailfish, dolphins, turtles, deep blue ocean, lots of laughs, and "nature, nature, nature". Thank you guys for such a wonderful, memorable experience. Today sailfish; tomorrow marlin! ........Maya & Sid Smith

“Amazing day out!!”
5 of 5 starsReviewed July 1, 2012
Omar and Israel gave us one the best days of our vacation. Omar knows so much about the sea and we learnt a lot that day.

Not only did we see hundreds of dolphins and swim with the turtles but we also had a huge sailfish on the line. Even though it dropped off, Omar didn't let us go home empty handed. We caught a Mahi Mahi which Israel filleted straight in front of us!! Once back to shore, Omar introduced us to some ladies who cooked up our catch. What a day!!

A huge thanks to Omar and Israel for taking the time to share their knowledge with such enthusiasm and genuine passion. Cannot wait until we return again!!

Adios amigos,

Jess and Fady

We had a fantastic time with Omar and Israel, seeing Turtles, Dolphins and flying Manta Ray's. In between we were lucky enough to catch a dorado and several skipjack's. Highly recommended if you are in Puerto Escondido.
