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.

Just wondered if the natural wildlife is free and roaming or is it a zoo attraction?
Monkeys?
Anything dangerous or poisoness?
Im hoping this is mostly natural here. Sea life i hope is not in an aquarium.

no monkeys...lots of birds, iguanas, lizards, snakes....great viewing in the early morning at the copalita ruins just above Bocana beach...don't do a tour, just catch a cab and hire a guide on site.(Bocana del Rio Copalita Archaeological Zone)
You will be at Brisas?? You will see lots of iguanas and lizards and birds right there at the resort while walking from your room to the beaches....don't take the little cabs for the best sightings. We had an iquana on our windowsill the last time we were there...called her Snoopy because she kept peeking in our window.
Snorkel beach right at the resort too. You will see lots of fun sea creatures right there.
highly recommend the day snorkel tour with Hurricane Divers (check out their website...just google hurricane divers huatulco)
