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.

MEXICAN HEAVY WATER – PUERTO ESCONDIDO


MEXICAN HEAVY WATER – PUERTO ESCONDIDO

 
 
Rushing the Mexican Pipe at 10-15ft is mucho gnarlio. Just ask Rusty Long. He recently dislocated his shoulder going down hard on a bomb which you can see here at 1mins30. But despite the incredibly high risks, locals and seasoned big wave chargers like Alex Gray just can’t resist the temptation of those gaping corners.
