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.

Lluvia Drops Keep Falling


Lluvia Drops Keep Falling

Lluvia (JU-VEE-AH) is the Spanish word for rain – something you will learn quickly in Veracruz.

Former Hurricane Ernesto is now Tropical Storm Ernesto. Here 45 miles inland from the coast we usually get little wind from the tropical storms – but lots of rain.
Most of the east side of Mexico is covered by Ernesto.  Puerto Escondido too – mucho lluvia!
We have had some power failures. To Megacables credit the Internet has been available after each ‘event’ for the most part.
Movies to watch and popcorn in bed interspersed with some Olympic events.
Tomorrow morning come rain or shine Mexico versus Brazil for the futbol final.
GO MEXICO!
Shine or Rain – Stay Tuned!
