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.

Ernesto death toll in Mexico reaches 11
News Date: 13th August 2012


Ernesto killed eleven people after hitting Mexico as a hurricane, Mexican authorities said Saturday as the storm death toll continued to rise.

Ernesto dissipated Friday over the country's mountainous southern regions, although heavy rain associated with it persisted in some areas.

Three people were killed in storm-related traffic accidents in the state of Guerrero, while five had died in connection with Ernesto in Veracruz, two in Tabasco and one in Oaxaca.

Ernesto made initial landfall as a hurricane on the southern Yucatan Peninsula late Tuesday. The storm made landfall again on Thursday in the state of Veracruz, on the Mexican mainland, where it

weakened after having crossed the Yucatan Peninsula and the Bay of Campeche.
