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.

Andres' swells may cause dangerous surf, rip conditions

MIAMI (AP) — Two storms are churning in the Eastern Pacific but one is producing swells that may cause life-threatening conditions.
Blanca, the second named storm of the season, was centered about 350 miles (560 kilometers) south-southwest of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, Monday evening. It has maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph).
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says no coastal warnings or watches are in effect, but the storm is expected to gain strength and become a major hurricane by late Wednesday. Forecasters call it a slow-moving storm.
Hurricane Andres continued to weaken Monday night but swells generated by the storm are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip conditions of the west coast of the Baja California peninsula. It is about 865 miles (1,390 kilometers) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. It is moving west-northwest at 8 mph (13 kph) with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph (185 kph). Andres is expected to become a tropical storm by Wednesday. No warnings or watches are in effect.
