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.

10 Top Tips For Safe Travels

tips for safe travels
Having safe travels tends to be the main concern for people who haven't traveled before. While the world is generally safe, these are some of the tips that I recommend for you to have safe travels and a journey that is problem free.

1. Carry A Fake Wallet

If by chance you do get robbed, throw a wallet that has expired credit cards and a bit of cash as far from yourself as possible and run.  Also, don't keep all of your credit cards and cash in one place.  I usually place a credit card and some cash in my hotel safe or in a good hiding place if there is no safe.  If something happens to your real wallet, you at least have a backup way to get cash.

2.  Be Observant

It's very easy to get caught up in your new surroundings and not be as observant as you are back home.  Look around you if you are walking alone and make sure that no one is following you.  Also, make sure to always keep track of your belongings.  It's easier to become distracted when you travel and to misplace and lose your belongings.
It's also a good idea to travel with bike locks for your luggage. This way, you can attach your luggage to a stationary object if you ever have to leave it alone.

3.  Leave Your Expensive Jewelry At Home

If you are wearing expensive jewelry, it can make you more of a target for robbery.  Also, it's one of the most commonly stolen items in hotel rooms. To ensure safe travels, it's best not to travel with expensive jewelry or items but to leave them at home.

4.  Don't Keep Valuables In Your Pockets

Pickpockets can remove your belongings without you even feeling it.  If you have a secret pocket, use that or wear a money belt.  Also, if you carry a purse, keep a close watch on it.  Some pickpockets have even used razors to slice out the bottom of purses.

5.  Make Copies Of  Your Passport And Credit Cards

If your passport or credit cards become lost or stolen, it will be easier to replace them if you have copies.  Make copies of the back of your credit cards too, so you have the phone numbers of the credit card companies within easy reach.

6.  Visit A Travel Clinic Before Departing For Your Destination

Did you know that most places in the world have travel clinics?  Travel clinics are great because they will know exactly what vaccines or shots that you will need to have before traveling to your destination.  They will also prescribe you malaria medicine should you need it and an antibiotic to carry in case of traveler's diarrhea.  It's great to arrive at your destination with everything that you might need should you get sick.

7.  Look Up The Travel Warnings For Your Destination

US State Department travel warnings will alert you to anything you may need to know about the country that you are visiting.  Canadian travel warnings can be found here.

8.  Make Sure That Your Adventure Activities Are Done With Reputable Companies

Many countries don't have the same safety standards that you may be used to.  If you are scuba diving, bungee jumping, sky diving or participating in any other risky activities, make sure you check out the safety records and qualifications of the company first.

9.  Do Not Tell Strangers Your Travel Plans

This is good advice to follow especially if you are traveling alone.  I never tell anyone the hotel where I'm staying.  If I want to meet up with someone, then I pick a public place.  I never let them meet me at my hotel.  You just don't know who you are meeting on the road, and it's better to be safe than sorry.

10.  Don't Use Credit Cards Or Look At Your Banking Information In Internet Cafes

The computers in internet cafes can have key logger software installed without you even knowing it. The internet connection also is usually not secure.  Don't risk letting someone steal your information and possibly your identity.
Hopefully these tips for safe travels will help you to be more aware and have a safe vacation. If you have any other suggestions, please leave a comment below!

    First / a review
    Much to recommend here, first, is almost the middle of the beach, the thin pizza, adequate, accurate to taste each saborcito with the prepared arguably a bit of "Wonderland" all day is "Happy hour" cocktails 2 x 1 especially mojitos and daiquiris are the wave! The guacamole that always happen to you with these toasts are divine! But if you want to indulge yourself asking a volcano of warm and overflowing chocolate ... my recommendation is to go to watch the sunset there, sentad @ on the mat while passing one other character you can admire either because they are also grateful for the spectacle of the sun getting between the two mountains or because they are doing yoga in front of you and you promise that you will also start (but never do).

    Posada Mexico is a hotel / restaurant / bar right in the heart of "cobblestone" and beachfront. The specialty of Posada Mexico are its artisan pizzas in a wood oven and mixology, especially the mojitos are among the best in the area that occasionally are 2 for 1. I enjoy sitting at the bar and have swings boring substitute bench. Here almost every night bands playing all genres, always at night is super festive and cheerful. Zipolite is small and always find people from your hostel or night, or someone with whom you had a conversation on the beach. This atmosphere is super relaxed and almost let all his sandals in casa.De day can enjoy a rich breakfast in one of the palapas on the beach and room prices are reasonable but not cheap prices Zipoliteños.
