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.

Playa Zipolite: Getting there & away

Playa Zipolite:  Getting there & away


The camionetas from Pochutla via Mazunte and San Agustinillo terminate at the far west end of Zipolite (about 2km from the east end of the beach). Colectivo taxis from Puerto Ángel (M$5), if you can find one, will go to the same spot too, but pass along the length of Zipolite en route, so they are a better bet if you’re heading for the east end of the beach.
After dark, a non-colectivo taxi is your only option for getting to Puerto Ángel, San Agustinillo or Mazunte (about M$50 until about 10pm, more after that).
