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.

And while spring breakers gulp down tequila shots and tourists sip margaritas, there are many other ways to enjoy this delicious spirit that boasts denomination controlee.
  • The earliest known reference to tequila comes from Descripción de la Nueva Galicia (Description of New Galicia) written by a Franciscan friar, Domingo Lázaro de Arregui, in 1621 but not published until 1946.
  • Archeologists have discovered what seems to be a pre-Hispanic tequila factory with 44 fermentation pots carved in stone that each held about 3,000 liters. That's a lot of tequila!
