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.

Mexico News Daily | Thursday, July 16, 2015
The fury of Hurricane Dolores is being felt today on the island of Socorro, state of Colima, but it’s not likely to have any major effects elsewhere on the Pacific coast of Mexico.
Downgraded by hurricane forecasters to Category 3, Dolores was located just 85 kilometers from Socorro, part of the Revillagigedo Archipelago, at 10:00am Central today. The group of four volcanic islands, population 54, is part of the municipality of Manzanillo, and lie between 720 and 970 kilometers to the west of that jurisdiction in Colima.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said this morning that Dolores is expected to continue moving west-northwest or northwest, with some weakening later today. By early Saturday it could be a tropical storm.
Tropical storm winds were occurring on Socorro Island earlier this morning but will diminish during the day, said the forecast.
The hurricane was 385 kilometers south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas in Baja California Sur, which can expect very heavy rainfall, winds of at least 50 km/h and a swell of two to four meters, the National Meteorological Service said today.
Rain is also forecast for Sinaloa and Nayarit, and waves of one to three meters.
