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.

Language

To really immerse yourself in a new culture, you should make it a priority to learn at least a few phrases in the local language. This will keep you from looking ignorant and could also save your life in an emergency situation.
Locals will notice your effort, and many may be friendlier if you approach them in their native tongue. Memorize at least a few rudimentary words and sayings, such as "please," "thank you," and "help." If you have no ear for learning a new language, carry a few translated phrases with you on note cards. And when presented with a phrase you're not familiar with, try Google Translate(available on Apple and Android for free), which will quickly translate anything you type or speak into your phone.
