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.

Tropical Storm Trudy Taking Aim at Mexico's Southwest Pacific Coastline
The Costa Rica News (TCRN) – Tropical Storm Trudy has formed off Mexico’s Pacific coast southwest of Guerrero and has the potential to produce “extraordinary torrential rainfall” in the south and southeast of the country, reported the National Weather Service (SMN).
The agency said in its report that as of 2200 local time (0300 GMT Saturday) tonight Trudy was officially a Tropical Depression 20-E.
The report also said that Trudy is located 55 kilometers southwest of Punta Maldonado and 140 miles southeast of Acapulco, both in the state of Guerrero.
The weather pattern is moving north at 7 kilometers per hour, with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and gusts of 85 kilometers.
Mexican authorities advised that a storm warning area was established from Tecpan de Galeana, Guerrero, to the Lagunas de Chacahua in Oaxaca.
The NWS predicted that this system will generate extraordinary torrential rains, 150 to 250 millimeters with elevated waves of 2-4 meters off the coast of Guerrero and Oaxaca.
Authorities have asked people to exercise caution due to the risk of landslides, mudslides, and overflowing rivers and streams which will cause disruption on the roads.
