Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Zipolite Drama

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.

Zipolite Drama

Uploaded on Aug 10, 2008

In Zipolite two people almost drowned but were then rescued by life guards. A boat showed up 10 minutes later to pick up the kids and the life guards. A common occurrence in Zipolite. It's still a beautiful place to visit. My second time there.

Dos personas, a punto de ahogar, fueron rescatadas por salvavidas. Poco despues llego una lancha para recojer a todos. Es algo que sucede frequentemente en Zipolite. Sin embargo, sigue siendo un lugar bellisimo para visitar. Fue mi segunda visita.
