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.

Forecasters are predicting more hurricanes for the Pacific coast this year and the first may be in the process of forming about 1,200 kilometers southeast of Manzanillo, Colima, and 1,285 kilometers south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas in Baja California Sur.
Tropical storm Andres, which formed early this morning, is the first named storm of the season and is moving in a west-northwesterly direction and generating winds of 95 km/h with gusts up to 110.
While forecast to become a Category 1 or 2 hurricane tomorrow, it is located well offshore and its trajectory has it staying there. Andres is expected to weaken by early next week.
However, big waves are expected to be generated by the system, mostly affecting Baja California, and heavy to intense rains in Jalisco, Michoacán and Guerrero, according to the national weather service.
Last month forecasters predicted a higher than normal number of hurricanes for the Pacific coast this year, and fewer on the Caribbean side. As many as seven storms could become Category 1 or 2 hurricanes and four could reach Categories 3, 4 or 5.
Another system forming off the southern coast of Oaxaca could bring rain and wind to that area and develop into a tropical storm early next week, said an Accuweather meteorologist.
