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.

BY NEGLIGENCE AND LACK OF DROWNING vacationer LIFEGUARD. IN ZIPOLITE.

Jose Torrentera. Zipolite, Pochutla. - On Tuesday, around eleven in the morning, before the impotence of bathers enjoying the warmth of Zipolit nudist beach and, choked a vacationer who underestimated the power of the waves, "! This possibly would not have happened, if the municipality of Pochutla support to the ten volunteers who watched over the safety of visitors in the holiday season last year-end, and as of last January 6 stopped covering these beaches that are extremely dangerous because they do not have any support to survive and lack the essential fuel for Civil Protection ATV that donated for the noble and dangerous mission to save lives, "said Esteban Vazquez worried and upset, responsible in Costa Civil Protection. Providers of Zipolite, meanwhile, say that "As far as we can support you with a snack or a tip to the volunteers who captained Reinaldo, but induficiente to meet their economic needs, so we have been demanding mayor Enrique Pochutla Enzaldo fulfill its word to ensure the safety of our beaches remains unfulfilled promise "

Hurricane Carlotta strikes with awesome power By Tony Richards on 16 June, 2012

Hurricane Carlotta strikes with awesome power

By Tony Richards on 16 June, 2012

The twisted remains of the roof of the secondary school near Puerto Angelito

In the wake of a hurricane that left few people unawed by the incredible power that nature can wield, Puerto Escondido awoke this morning to begin cleaning up. Hurricane Carlotta struck with fury about 7:30 pm Friday evening, intensifying over the next hour before settling into a terrifying onslaught of steady winds approaching 200 km/h.
The city hunkered down: there was no other choice. To venture outside was to invite serious injury or death. In Zicatela, hotel owner Dan Clemens reported pieces of lamina roofing striking his building with the force of small and deadly rockets. Clemens said storm damage was major and all his palapa roofs had been destroyed. Indeed, palaperos will be kept busy for some time.
But apart from the damage caused by hundreds, if not thousands, of uprooted or sheared-off trees and limbs, and some roads eaten away in places by heavy runoff, the city escaped lightly considering the deadly force with which Carlotta attacked. There were no deaths here, though two children died in Pluma Hidalgo. However, the roughly-built homes with makeshift roofs of tin suffered the most. Some were utterly destroyed, many others severely damaged.
One notable scene today was the front of Super Che. One of the huge windows that looks out over the ocean was gone; the others had been extensively taped to keep them intact.
The storm brought heavy rain, which continued to fall the rest of the night. But the rain didn't come in the quantities forecast, and the wind didn't rage as long as might have been expected. At its worst the onslaught lasted not much more than half an hour, but during the two hours leading up to the peak the wind was still strong enough, and steady enough, to put fear in the heart of any man.
It was that unrelenting pounding that Dan Clemens, who was here for Paulina in 1997, described as a major difference between the two storms. That and the rain: Paulina, which was the last hurricane to strike Puerto Escondido, brought huge rainfall. There was comparatively little last night.
And the whole thing was pretty well over by about 10:30, when the storm made landfall just northwest of Puerto and the Level 2 Hurricane was soon downgraded to a tropical storm.
Today there is a light drizzle falling as residents of the city are busy with the massive clean-up. They were at it first thing this morning, and in a fashion typical of the atitutude and outlook of local citizens, quick to joke with their neighbors as they set about their work. Much of the city is still without power this afternoon, but that hasn't stopped some businesses from opening. Cafecito in Rinconada was serving breakfasts to a typically large crowd, despite the lack of electricity.
Meanwhile, the sun will come out shortly and life in Puerto Escondido goes on.

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.

Playa Zipolite is a beach community located in San Pedro Pochutla ...

Published on Mar 15, 2013

Playa Zipolite is a beach community located in San Pedro Pochutla municipality on the southern coast of Oaxaca state in Mexico. It is located between Huatulco and Puerto Escondido and is part of the "Riviera Oaxaqueña" area. Zipolite is best known as being one of Mexico's very few nude beaches and for retaining much of the hippie culture that made it notable in the 1960s and 1970s. The name Zipolite, sometimes spelled Sipolite or Cipolite probably comes from the Nahuatl word sipolitlan or zipotli, meaning "bumpy place" or "place of continuous bumps or hills". However, some claim the name means "beach of the dead" in either Nahuatl or Zapotec because of dangerous underwater currents just offshore. The beach is currently popular with foreign tourists, especially backpackers, who stay in one of the many rustic cabins or camping spaces that line the beach.
