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.

My wife and I went to Zipolite in June and had to endure hurricane "Carlota", many of the hotels in the beach had a lot of damage, but this small hotel just behind the beach did not, in fact they took us in just two hours before the hurricane hit, because the other hotel we where staying started to flood.
Anyways, this is a very cheap place, but the owners (Don Omar and Gris) are wonderful people, the place is locked and looked after, something rare in Zipolite, so I do believe your stuff is safe, each room had a basic shower and full bath, again rare in Zipolite for the price, it even had TV and WiFi.
All in all I had a great time in this hotel and would recommend for anyone looking for a basic, cheap and very clean place t
o stay in Zipolite.
