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.

"After having a really bad June, the first week of July was greeted with flawless conditions," explained Puerto photog Edwin Morales. "As good as it gets by Puerto standards, with solid six- to eight-foot surf up and down the beach. (With an occasional 10-foot set to keep everyone on their toes.) Everyone was super stoked on seeing epic surf after a whole month of bad waves and horrible weather, especially Hurricane Carlotta." (Stay tuned for some Wave of the Summer entries as well as a full swell story on Monday.) Photo: Edwin Morales

Huatulco Honey Moon


It was on May, 2012. Ana María, my wife, and I went to Oaxaca for the wedding of our friends Jodi and Luis. The wedding ceremony was beautiful, the party was exquisite. From there we started our honey moon taking a 8-hour bus ride from Oaxaca City to Huatulco. We passed by Salina Cruz, one of the most important commercial ports in Mexico. If we connect Salina Cruz through the Istmo with the Mexican Gulf, we could be more competitive vis-à-vis the Panama Canal.  Anyways, we went to a lighthouse in Huatulco and look what we saw: a breathtaking, marvelous sunset.

Puerto Escondido trip Part 2

Zicatela Beach in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca Mexico


 
Jeff Hubbard – The 2009 IBA World Tour bodyboarder champion from Kauai, Hawaii.

Our daily routine here in Puerto Escondido often goes something like this: wake up, beach walk, watch some surfing/boogieboarding at Zicatela or La Punta, come home, eat, workout, read, lunch, pool hang-outs, afternoon trip to the beach, dinner hang-outs with dudes from our hotel followed by more reading or a dip in the pool. There’s the odd variation but that really sums it up.
We’ve been lucky enough to catch Puerto at the right time of year – when the waves are still big, the people here (for the most part) are young (or young at heart) and the annual Zicatela Pro Boogieboarding comp is on. In a months time the surf will get small and the town will be taken over by, what I’m told are, snowbirds – old gringos from the cold areas of North America looking for a warm reprieve. We’re both stoked that luck was on our side and we got here before the changeover!
Here’s my first gallery of photos from the beach!
