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.

Sam's Club and Walmart both in Salina Cruz?
Can someone tell me if there is a Walmart located beside the Sam's Club in Salina Cruz? I have been to Sam's Club last December and believe they were building a Walmart beside it, but didn't pay that close of attention. Am looking to go back there this December to restock the condo again, and would like to know about Walmart.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Yes the two stores are pretty close together, along with a high end department store called "Liverpool"(which by the way has a fantastic buffet style restaurant in it! ) The Walmart exterior was being upgraded, hence the construction last spring. Once you check out the new coppel store and Soriana in LaCrucecita, you may not need to go all the way to Salinas Cruz. We go in 2 weeks, so I will be checking them out for supplies also.

Thanks for the note. I have been in the new Coppel a few weeks ago and is nice with lots of things, but need some other items such as cheap wine and vodka haha. Sam's club has a great price on liquor among other items. I have been at Liverpool as well and it has some nice household things in it as well. I like the drive to see some other country.

its about 2.5 hour drive, give or take depending on traffic and time of day. The three big box stores (Liverpool, Sam's Club, and Walmart) all in the same area are worth a day trip if you need lot's of household stuff. Sam's Club requires a membership so that took me 1 hour last Christmas and that was with a translator with me.

There are several new stores in the Wal-Mart Mall as well.
