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.

Hey all i'm excited to be going to huatulco before the year ends, I've heard some great things about the city!
Might even consider moving down there if huatulco treats me well :). Living in phoenix most of my life i would love not seeing 110+ degrees every summer.

Yeah, but Huatulco is NOT a dry heat! It helps to acclimate during the dry season to make the rainy one a bit more tolerable.

What are the temperatures/humidity now? How many months is it essential to have air conditioning? Thanks.

We plan on visiting next year. I assume January is one of the best months weather/heat wise. Is this correct?

Considering that the majority of people in the Huatulco vicinity do not have air conditioning;

leaving "essential" AC needs at the border, one can survive with a simple fan.

Pedro, I bookmarked it good stuff,

johnzap, Thanks for the confirmation on that, I'm expecting to be right by the
ocean and the humidity will play a roll in making it feel hotter then it actually is.

HTA, do you live in huatulco year round? Here in phx I run the ac
about 7-8 months out of the year so using the ac only in the summer in huatulco would
still be beneficial.

Why is Huatulco always 5 degrees or so hotter that PE?

I have never used an ac for I don't how many years in Huatulco. I use window fans and if those are not available then one could use box fans. You could use this in the exhaust mode in the afternoons - sucking out all the hot air and in normal use in the evenings - bringing in the cool, fresh, unpolluted air.
BTW - I brought in all my window fans from Canada. But box fans work equally well.

Interesting question Flacco. Before moving here I lived in Puerto Angel for many years and after Fonatur built Huatulco I used to come over here once in a while. La Crucicita felt like it was air conditioned compared to PA. And Pochutla—I suspect the devil built Pochutla to test out his design for hell.

I always figured it was because of all the grass and plants here in HUX that made it cooler. There was certainly no grass in PA. Not many plants either. A lot of rock and baked dirt.
