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.

Zipolite Painting 2000-2001




Published on Oct 5, 2012 by 
In 2001 there was fire in Zipolite. It burned my cabana and my camera. I still wanted to capture the beauty and so I tried painting. At first they were not very good but as I continued to practice they improved. Shortly after I became pregnant with my my daughter. I did not paint for 7 years. When she was 6 & 7 we returned to Zipolite and I was inspired to paint again. Soon I hope to do alot more painting. Hopefully in oils this time, but some watercolours too! Stay Tuned.
