Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Estacahuitle Bay

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.

Estacahuitle Bay

http://cocinax.com/travel/zipolite-oaxaca/

Estacahuitle Bay

The most beautiful bay on the riviera because of its turquoise waters and gentle waves. The beaches are small on this bay but its still a local secret so you wont encounter much tourists. It's only a little further up from Puerto Angel so you can enjoy both in the same day. The town of Puerto Angel I found very dirty and I was warned that there is alot of dumping into the shores and not advised to swim here. Estacahuitle is also a great place to snorkel, one of the restaurants there can rent you equipment and even take you out on a boat to some further spots.
