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.

1. Re: Pochutla market
There's a very large mercado in Pochutla that is open every day. Monday is market day tho.. there will be a lot more people and vendors there. Its best to go with a guide who will have a vehicle, A/C and is bi-lingual. I'd recommend Marcos Lopez. He's licensed, knowledgeable, has a roomy sedan, and is a great guy. You can reach him at Huatulcotours@yahoo.com or on his cell phone (044) 958-106-1687. Pochutla is about 45 minutes to an hour's drive from the Huatulco area.

You have good info in #1 above. You can combine Pochutlawith a swim and a lunch on the beach at Zipolite or calmer San Agustinillo. These two beach towns are about 125 pesos ($10) from Pochutla. See what's west of the airport on the top questions of this page.

WE regularly take the bus from the bus depot, go to Puchutla for a few hours, bus back to the corner of Santa Maria de Huatulco and San Agustinillo, jump in a taxi, go to the beach at San Ag, have the taxi pick up back up at designated time, jump back on bus at corner and get dropped off right in the middle of LaCrucecita.....easy, cheap, good day out.
