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.

“Best Cinnamon Rolls in Puerto Escondido”
5 of 5 starsReviewed August 30, 2012
We go for breakfast because it's a great spot on the beach to sit and watch the surfers. All the food looks really good but so far I can't get past the cinnamon rolls. So delicious!

“DELICIOSO, MUY AGRADABLE, EXCELENTE!!! LA MEJOR PIZZA!”
5 of 5 starsReviewed July 26, 2012
Google Translation
Llevo 5 años yendo a Puerto Escondido por un par de días y definitivamente siempre desayuno, como y ceno en el Maná. cada vez que voy el trato sigue siendo muy amable, ya sea que nos atienda su dueño, Franco (un italiano que afortunadamente llegó a este rincón de México), o su gente: Giovanni, Lupita y Mago principalmente; nos atienden como reyes siempre con una sonrisa y muy amablemente. La comida es deliciosa, todo es fresco y desde la primera vez hasta el día de hoy el sabor es el mismo o un poco mejor cada vez. Para el desayuno, el pan dulce, los huevos Benedetto, el bocadito napolitano y la fruta fresca son mi opción personal, también los licuados y los distintos jugos son deliciosos. Para la comida tiene una buena variedad de pescados y mariscos y para después de las 5 de la tarde puedes probar las mejores pizzas de México!!!! en especial la margarita y la primavera son mis favoritas, acompañadas de una copita de vino tinto y alguna pasta preparado todo al momento y al dente. En cuanto a panadería se refiere tienen una buena variedad de pan hecha por ellos mismos que está riquísimo!!! El cuernito de chocolate y el rollito relleno de manzana son mis favoritos. y en repostería también es para chuparse los dedos, el tiramisú y el mouse de chocolate son obligatorios en la cena (si es que aún me queda espacio) y los helados italianos tipo gelato son muy sabrosos. En general este es mi lugar obligado y favorito donde comer principalmente por su calidad, frescura, precios accesibles, ambiente y la vista al mar que convierten al Maná en un verdadero Oasis en Puerto Escondido.

Big-wave surfer awakes from coma


Big-wave surfer awakes from coma

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Brazilian big-wave surfer Aldemir Calunga has regained consciousness after almost three days in a medically induced coma.

Calunga suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest and deep lacerations to his face on Sunday while surfing in five-meter waves at Puerto Escondido's Zicatela beach on Mexico's Pacific coast.

After being pulled from the surf and resuscitated by lifeguards, the 39-year-old received treatment from local doctors before being transferred to the intensive care unit of a Mexico City hospital.

"He was very emotional and constantly thanking everybody," Calunga's friend Caca Neves said on Wednesday.

"The doctor told us to tell him what had happened and where he was. Tomorrow (Thursday) he will be moved out of intensive care."
