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.

Eisbach – A Hidden Surf Spot Downtown Munich

Posted on September 7, 2012

2:42 minutes video – in Munich, Germany

Spot this ultracool, absolutely natural surfwave, where you’d least expect it: downtown Munich. For safety reasons, the Eisbach surf spot is an unofficial attraction and not likely to be found in mainstream tourist guides. Here is it’s exact location on Google Maps.

Weather permitting, the Eisbach surf spot is open all year. It is one of the free things to do in Munich, along with a stroll around the English Garden, the Viktualienmarkt or the Christkindl winter markets. The Eisbach bridge is right above the wave and perfect for watching the surfers and taking some pictures. [img via]
