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.

Just as Hurricane Andrés is set to expire, along comes Blanca, forecast to become a hurricane by tomorrow.
Andrés has increased in strength and is now rated as Category 4 but is expected to weaken to a tropical storm by Wednesday. Tropical storm Blanca, the second named storm of the season, is now the focus of attention on the Pacific coast and is expected to strengthen quickly, according to the United States National Hurricane Center.
However, there are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. Blanca was located 540 kilometers south-southwest of Zihuatanejo at 10:00am Central and moving northwest. Little motion is expected tomorrow and Wednesday.
Blanca is forecast to deliver very heavy rains in Jalisco, Michoacán and Guerrero.
Hurricane Andrés was reported 1,350 kilometers southwest of the southern tip of Baja California Sur this morning and heading west-northwest. Its sustained winds were blowing at 220 km/h.
The NHC warned that a high swell generated by the hurricane is affecting parts of the west coast of the Baja peninsula and will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
UPDATE: Blanca was upgraded today to a Category 1 hurricane. Its position has changed little since yesterday. It is forecast to strengthen until Friday when it will begin to weaken before making landfall Sunday in Los Cabos. Forecasters said it was too early to tell what impact it might have on the Baja peninsula.
