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.

# DidYouKnow ZIPOLITE

ZIPOLITE
The beach, like the people, called "Zipolite" There are many versions about the origin of the name and the stronger in Zapotec means "beach of the dead".
The name comes from the legend that the Zapotecs buried their dead here, bringing them from tens and even hundreds of kilometers away.
Other studies have not yet said means certificates instead of snails. The beach sand is fine and white, describing a crescent along its entire length.
The surf is medium to strong in all seasons, prevailing waves and strong underwater currents in the rainy season. One of the charms of the beach at Zipolite is your tolerance for nudity.
Before nudism is limited to both ends of the beach, Love in the East and another small beach to the west (Alchemist / Shambala side).
