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.

The Inaugural Huatulco Marathon...Wake Up To The DreamThe quiet explodes. Crystalline sand mesmerizes, eternally consumed and returned by the surf. But I answer a different call. Feet pound on an undulating path. Suddenly, lush jungle, a green haze. The journey is surreal. It lasts--a minute? An hour? A day? The pounding ceases. Something around my neck. I'm wrung out, draped in a gown of my own sweat. Back on the sand, there's cool in my hand, and succor for my hunger. The quiet explodes. I am reborn. Or am I only dreaming?
