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.

We were in PE 4 yrs ago and loved it. We stayed in Villas Carazalillo and would love to go back , but it's not really in our budget anymore. We're thinking about maybe staying on Zicatela this time. Does anyone have a nice, clean place they could recommend? It doesn't have to be on Zicatela but we would really like to have a pool and a ocean veiw room.

Hotel San Juan. It's just down from El Crucero, big bright pink place. They have a pool and an ocean view from the top balcony.

There are a few other places on Zicatela that I don't have any experience with but those two other places I have been to. I've also stayed many times at Villas Carrizalillo many times.

Check the hotel listings on tripadvisor. You'll likely get a lot more reviews for each hotel, than responses on this forum, rankings, and often much more detailed answers than most are likely provide here. Check for A/C of course.
