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.

Escape to Puerto Escondido for Music and Surfing

Find yourself a hammock and a view of the ocean in Puerto Escondido.

When the 16th-century Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortéz was asked to describe Mexico, he is said to have crumpled up a piece of paper and set it on the table. 
Testimony to that description of the rugged landscape is the serpentine Highway 200 from Huatulco to Puerto Escondido, which runs through the steep Oaxaca coastal hills. 
In Puerto Escondido, a long stretch of beach called Zicatela features an array of hotels in a range of prices. Restaurants offering cuisine from Japanese to Italian and, of course, Mexican line the beach. Puerto Escondido is known as Mexico’s surfing capital, and Zicatela is the reason. If you don’t surf, several small, protected coves — ideal for swimming — lie within a 20-minute walk of the town. 
The city is also home to an emerging international music scene. The tiny, funky Congo bar on the Adoqúin — Puerto Escondido’s main tourist strip and a pedestrian-only zone in the evenings — plays live music. 
At the boutique hotel Villas Carrizalillo, you can easily while away a couple of afternoons, hanging in a hammock under apalapa (a thatched-roof, open-sided structure), drinking coconut water, eating fresh shrimp cocktails and taking frequent dips in the calm turquoise water. 
If you want to explore the coastline, several beach towns to the south of Puerto Escondido are worth visiting. Travel a couple of hours by public bus to San Agustinillo, a charming village comprised of a couple of streets running along the ocean, sprinkled with numerous small hotels and restaurants. The huge waves offshore are great for surfing, but not safe for casual swimming. 
For something completely different, hop in a cab and go the short distance to Zipolite, Mexico’s best-known nude beach and another surfer’s paradise. 
In Zipolite you can stay at Lo Cósmico, a collection of rustic bamboo huts and simple, clean rooms built on a rocky hillside overlooking a small cove. Hammocks hang in every room and there is a common area where you can lounge for hours.  
Settle into your own version of a Corona commercial. 

How to get to Puerto Escondido

Sunwing Airlines flies directly to Huatulco. From Huatulco it takes a couple of hours by road to arrive in Puerto Escondido.

I think it depends where you're flying from. I had a friend go to the new Secrets in Feb from Chicago and they had to stop in Houston and from Houston they flew directly there.

She said the beaches were gorgeous. They did a jet-ski tour along the coast that sounded really fun. There's also a park that you can supposedly only access via jetski that has hiking, etc. Sounds like a great place!

It looks SO pretty in the photographs.

to huatulco
 
Well, we were waiting for it and there it was, a huge tropical downpour. First rain since October. Went on for about half an hour yesterday evening (at least in La Crucecita). Our enclosed patio where the drain didn't work had well over 2 inches/5cm over of standing water....

Feels a lot cooler now. :-)
