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.

ZICATELLA PRO BACK ON

Zicatella Pro Back On

ZICATELLA PRO BACK ON

A noble effort to “Save Puerto” has been effective enough so far for organizers to commit to staging the event in late September.
IBA have confirmed that the campaign has secured enough base funding to stage a basic Men‚s GSS event.
The new dates are September 27th to October 6th.
IBA Tour manager Terry McKenna is ecstatic about the result and is looking forward to another epic event in Puerto Escondido.
“Last year was amazing” said McKenna
“At this point we have a bare-bones event confirmed but we need more support from the fraternity to include a webcast and some of the trimmings that we have come to expect from the existing GSS events”
Head of the IBA Gregg Taylor elaborates on the campaign.
“The primary purpose of the Salvemos Puerto campaign was to use the IBA event to provide a spark to the local economy in Puerto Escondido and this has been achieved, though further funding is required via the IBA Salvemos Puerto campaign to secure a global live webcast of the event to raise the awareness of ongoing challenges the Puerto Escondido community are facing and to bring the action to the screens of the global Bodyboarding community. Additional funding will also be used for the donation to the local lifeguards and Puerto Escondido community.” said Taylor.
Entry details for the event will be available soon.
