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.

We are bringing an air mattress to float on, is there someplace by the Villa Blanca that has an air compressor to fill it up?
Thanks

Hola.
There is also a bicycle store on Calle Carrizal (in La Crucecita) near to the HCBC Bank and the bicycle shop may also have some air to spare.
Hope this helps. Your questions are always welcome.
Abrazos,

I don't know about you, but we use our own lungs for our air mattress!

Waldo....I'm happy that you have strong enough lungs to blow up an air mattress.
Are you really from friendly Manitoba?

How about bringing a step pump?? The pool at VB is on the small side, and shallow to boot. If you opt to hang around the hotel during the day, chances are the pool is yours.. Most folks are up early, skedaddling to one of the many beaches to lounge the day away.
If the step pump is not an option, and you're not in a hurry.. I'm sure one of the staff will track down what you need... VB's staff are exception!! It may take a day at the most!

If you are talking about an individual air mattress that you buy at a dollar store then I agree with Waldo. If you are bringing your water bed mattress, then thats a different story..lol
