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.

Lonely Planet review

A range of excellent accommodations from thatch-roofed bungalows 
just off the beach (most with double bed, fan, hot-water bathroom 
and hammocked porch) to big, bright air-con rooms with ample
 terraces and king-size beds, set back up the luxuriant hillside. 
Decor is simple and tasteful.
One of Zipolite's best restaurants is here, as are a good pool 
and spa. Daily hatha yoga sessions (M$100/300 per one/four 
classes), plus Pilates and meditation, take place in a bright
 yoga room.
Our independent authors have visited El Alquimista and 
selected this as one of our recommended hotels in Zipolite.
