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.

More big waves in tomorrow’s forecast Pacific swell of two to three meters from Chiapas to Guerrero

More big waves in tomorrow’s forecast

Pacific swell of two to three meters from Chiapas to Guerrero

Another Pacific groundswell is forecast to arrive tomorrow, with waves of two to three meters expected on the south and central coast.
The National Meteorological Service said big waves can be expected from Chiapas to Guerrero, although the effects could be felt as far as Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco, and the Revillagigedo islands in Colima.
Three people died when the same phenomenon hit the Pacific coast just over a week ago, lashing the coastlines of Oaxaca and Guerrero with waves up to 10 meters in height. Hundreds of homes and businesses were damaged by the high water.
Adverse conditions are also expected in some other parts of the country due to a cold front and low-pressure system in the north and moist air moving in from the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.
Heavy rain, electrical storms and hail are being forecast for today in Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, State of México and the Federal District.
Temperatures greater than 40 C are forecast for Baja California, Sonora, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, Hidalgo, Puebla, Morelos and Quintana Roo.
Hottest spot in the country in the past 24 hours was Mérida, Yucatán, with 38.5 degrees. The coldest was La Rosilla, Durango, where it dropped to -5 C.
