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.

San Agustinillo

San Agustinillo is the perfect family beach. No nudity, calm ocean waters, and rows of restaurants. However, the price of everything here is higher than most beaches on the Riveria Oaxaqueña. There are many choices so you can find a good place. Mexico Lindo is a nice restaurant to enjoy reasonable prices and access to lounge chairs. It also has hammocks for siestas which I find a must after swimming and eating. San Agustinillo is next to Mazunte, and a short ride from Zipolite. Private taxis from Zipolite are 50 MXN$, or there always collectivos from the main road.
