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.

El mercado de Puerto Escondido tiene fama de tener productos de primera calidad. Nosotros hemos tenido la suerte de conocer que son las Chicatanas ( hormigas gigantes comestibles) y las propiedades del cactus mas común, el nopal.
Vienes a conocer el mercado de Benito Juarez y sus gentes?

Benefit Breakfast for Piña Palmera Sunday
July 20, 2012 12:32AM
Sunday 29th is Breakfast with a Cause for Piña Palmera, which got very badly hit by hurricane Carlotta and is in need for a lot of help. 75% of what you pay for your breakfast goes directly to Piña, there will be videos and they will be selling their crafts. Entertainment will be provided by María Jimena and others

9 a.m. Sunday, Hotel Arcoiris.

200 pesos is the cost.

[www.pinapalmera.org], the site is also available in Spanish, French, Swedish (I think) and German.

Be there or be square

Edit to add, folks from the pinapalmera have helped a friend of mine with birth defects at no cost in Puerto numerous times.
