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.

La Loma Linda

La Loma Linda

Set atop of a hill overlooking the beautiful beach of Zipolite are the cabañas of La Loma Linda. With it's close access to the beach and killer view this place is the best location in town. Each cabaña has it's very distinct characteristics, but I ended up choosing Casita, a bungalow with an attached kitchen and private patio. It turned out to be great to stay here for a week because of all the features like the kitchen equipment, stove top, refrigerator, clothes washing sink, and it's separate bathroom and shower. Katja, the manager of La Loma Linda, is very approachable and was especially knowledgeable about the area. We had ended up going to several of her recommendations and greatly appreciated the local scoop. They are also very quick to provide you with anything to make the most of your trip, we borrowed some of Katja's boards while here for the waves. Breakfast is available here, for an additional price. It's a great menu, with good vegetarian options and fair prices, I ended up going only once because during low season they ask for a reservation a day ahead. Finally, it's an amazing overall value, an unbelievably great price and awesome cabaña in one of the most spectacular beaches.
