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.

"After having a really bad June, the first week of July was greeted with flawless conditions," explained Puerto photog Edwin Morales. "As good as it gets by Puerto standards, with solid six- to eight-foot surf up and down the beach. (With an occasional 10-foot set to keep everyone on their toes.) Everyone was super stoked on seeing epic surf after a whole month of bad waves and horrible weather, especially Hurricane Carlotta." (Stay tuned for some Wave of the Summer entries as well as a full swell story on Monday.) Photo: Edwin Morales
