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.

I've also recently created or updated some websites here in Zipolite, you may want to check them out.
3 de Diciembre Restaurante
Yogui's Amber
Orale Cafe
Shambhala Vision
Posada Esmeralda
Roca Blanca Posada

Just wanted to assure everyone that Zipolite is fully functioning and pretty well everything is back to normal after June's hurricane. Only Gloria's home at Shambhala is still needing alot of attention but everything esle has been repaired and we hope to see you all here for the Karma Cleansing Ceremony. Shambhala has a Facebook page but they don't have a strong signal up there right now so Gloria gets to the page when they can. Shambhala's Facebook Page

Feliz Navidad. Wishing you the best in this holiday season. Hope to see you down here.

Take care, Tina aka Zipolita

“What a pleasant experience”

Took a 2 dive trip yesterday with Hurricane and was very happy. The service was excellent, the gear in really good condition. We went to 2 different locations and Dive Master Antonio was very knowledgeable and helpful.

“A terrific novice diving experience”
4 of 5 starsReviewed 27 December 2012 NEW
We booked with Hurricane Divers after reading reviews and recommendations on TA. Roberto (owner) was easy to communicate with via email and made planning things easy. My wife had some scuba experience but I had none, so we ended up with a bay tour with discoverScuba for two. We found the shop in plenty of time and met Blaise, our...More

“There are much better diving options in Huatulco”
2 of 5 starsReviewed 26 December 2012 NEW via mobile
Being treated as if the service provider is doing you a favour is definetely not what you are looking for when you book a diving excursion. But that was precisely my experience at the front desk in Hurricane Divers. I was attended by a French guy by the name of Blaz who didn't even offered me a sit when I...More

I'm sorry you feel you didn't get the attention you deserved. All I can say is that the Christmas week is extremely busy for us and kitting out a boat full of divers in the morning can get a bit stressful. However, that's not an excuse. I'll tell you what, next time you're in Huatulco I'll invite you for a... More

We had such a nice experience with Rob and Pauline. We visited many wonderful Bahia's with great beaches! After snorkeling and swimming we had a fantastic lunch and snacks (made by Pauline herself). During the trip we saw flying fish, dolphins and a big turtle, really incredible!! Next time we will do the tour again. Thank you Rob and Pauline...More

My wife and I did a half day snorkeling tour. Communication in setting up the trip was great. We went to two different spots to snorkel. The guide even did a brief tour of the different beaches and slowed down for dolphins and a turtle. We both had a great time and enjoyed the entire trip. We were recommending them...More

We had a great experience with Hurricane Divers. We enjoyed an all day cruise of the bays with snorkeling and a picnic lunch. My husband also enjoyed a morning of diving. Thank you Pauline for a wonderful lunch! We highly recommend them and will snorkel/dive with them again if we return to Huatulco. Thanks to all the employees for a...More

We had 4 certified divers and 3 kids who hadn't dove before. they did the "Discover Scuba" package and we all dove together to a max. 40' depth. The crew were great, very professional and gave easy to understand instruction which made our inexperienced kids more comfortable. Our 10 yr old was particularly nervous about jumping out of the boat...More

Roberto, the owner provided excellent communication prior to our trip. Our dive guide, Blaz a frenchman, spoke English and of course Spanish. He was very calm, polite and enjoyable. The boat captain Javiar, was kind, helpful and very skilled in knowing where to go and where to anchor. He kept a safe watch on us while we were diving. We...More

I decided to finish my PADI Open Water course with Hurricane Divers in Nov. 2011. They had a good price and the instructor is very experienced (20+ years). However, my SCUBA diving experience was terrible. First of all, we were taken out in a fishing boat. There were no seats, no diving platform and barely even any covering from the...More

I'm very sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. I honestly don't remember this happening, but last November I was abroad. What I can say is that our boat is indeed a "panga", as used in the tropics by thousands of dive operators. It does have seating and a sun roof, but it's not big enough to... More

Had a fantastic two weeks in Hautulco, the highlight being the full day snorkelling excursion with Hurricane divers. The crew really looked after us and the scenery and the variety of fish was fantastic. The deserted beach which they found for us was the ideal setting for the wonderful lunch provided by Pauline. We cannot reccommend Hurricane Divers highly enough...More
