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.

“The best Italian around!”
5 of 5 starsReviewed February 25, 2013 NEW
One word to describe Alessandro's Cangrejo Azul is spectacular! We happened upon this little gem one night and now visit each week to enjoy fresh, delicious pasta and great ambience. I would highly recommend starting with the zesty bruschetta. The spinach stuffed ravioli bolognese is my favorite. Top it off with delicious tiramisu or cheesecake and a glass of wine...perfect meal!

The staff is great and welcoming. It can get quite busy but there is a sharing table at the front of the restaurant where you can sit and eat with others...great for meeting new people.

We brought friends to Cangrejo Azul who have also been to Italy. They said it was better than anything they had!

“best food in Mazunte”
5 of 5 starsReviewed August 1, 2012
1. If you are in Mazunte, you must eat here
2. if you're lucky enough and it's on the menu, get the octopus
3. thou shalt not leave Mazunte without having tried the fresh pasta here, better yet, the ravioli if available
4. if you think you've had a good cheesecake, think again
5. closes thursdays
