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.

Harmony by Tina Winterlik

Harmony from Tina Winterlik on Vimeo.



To Live in Harmony- this film in the Peace & Freedom Category of the Possible Futures Contest. We all want to live in Harmony. We all want Peace & Freedom. So much of the world is in Kaos. What does Peace & Freedom look like. I took my daughter to Mexico, for 5 months, we lived on a VERY modest budget, basically camping, but in a room and yet practically right on the beach. It was fabulous. There was no TV and we rarely used the internet. Our days were full of long walks along the beach, discovering the sea life, beach life, the people, the ocean, the sand, the birds & sky. It was fabulous.
At a time when people were saying "Don't go to Mexico-it's to dangerous" we were living in paradise in many senses of the word. We were living in harmony. We were just surviving yet we were thriving. If more people would educate their children, teach them to experience life like this, then this is what collective peace will look like. If children learn the awe, and respect of nature, if the see the peace and harmony it will be reflected in their own lives. My film is about Peace + Freedom = Harmony That's how I felt when we lived in Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexic the winters or 2008/9 & 2009/10
Ask yourself, how might this bring about individual or collective peace, and what might that feel and look like?
