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.

Cafe Maya

A good beach-side restaurant should have great seafood, cold beer, and hammocks for napping after. This small cafe on the shores of Zipolite has all three along with a beautiful view of the beach to enjoy. Kate, the chef of Cafe Maya, uses fresh local product to prepare burritos, breakfast, and sushi. We came during low season, and they brought us fresh tuna from the nearby port to make us sashimi and sushi. Although not Mexican, it is a great way to taste local Mexican seafood. Make sure you try some of the burritos, they make some tasty homemade tortillas and salsas.
