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.

Hurricane Simon Intensifies off Mexico's Coast

MIAMI — Oct 4, 2014, 11:41 AM ET
Hurricane Simon has rapidly strengthened in Pacific waters hundreds of miles off the tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says Simon's maximum sustained winds reached at 110 mph (175 kph) on Saturday. Forecasters say Simon is expected to become a major hurricane in coming hours and then begin to weaken Sunday.
The center says the hurricane is centered about 310 miles (500 kilometers) southwest of the southern tip of the Baja peninsula and is moving west-northwest at 13 mph (20 kph). There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
Simon is expected to produce 2 to 4 inches or more of rainfall in southwestern Mexico and swells generated by the hurricane could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
