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.

Huatulco



HUATULCO 

Positioned on the Pacific coast in the state of Oaxaca, Huatulco is a relatively recent tourist development in Mexico. 

The Pacific Ocean laps the shores of Huatulco's 36 stunning beaches, spread across nine bays, with all boasting warm waters and golden sands. 

Huatulco has a wide variety of accommodations from rooms for rent, small economy hotels, luxury oceanfront villas and vacation condominiums, as well as several luxury resorts standing on or near the shores of Tangolunda Bay.

I couldn't resist posting the photo of these two kids in Huatulco. They were waiting for (as it turned out) their big brother to leave school so they could all ride home together on his scooter, and they did!
