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.

Tony, a taxi from outside of the airport will be more or less 500 Pesos. If you bus, you'll pay 150 Pesos from highway 200 to Mazunte. Take a taxi all the way.

Thanks. To clarify, you say a taxi all the way from PE Airport (picked up on the highway 200) to Mazunte will only be 150 pesos? That seems ridiculously cheap for an hour-long trip. Bus tickets on ADO are 70-110 Pesos a person . . . ..

Nope from PE airport will be approx 500 Pesos (understand that taxis inside the airport will be double of those outside the airport) The 150 Pesos is from the highway junction of main highway 200 and secondary highway 175 about 20 minutes from Mazunte. (or from Pochutla which is farther east than the junction) Might be worth looking at Google maps.

I did ... but my husband is a nervous flyer and friends who do that route fairly regularly suggested choosing a different airline.

Well, I'm not sure what you are referring to, but they are a legitimate airline flying modern aircraft. You can get some amazingly low fares if you carefully navigate their website. I have flown several times with them so I can't imagine what your friends are talking about that they would make you nervous to fly with them.

I am here in Puerto Escondido now. It is probably a couple hundred yards from the small airport terminal building, down to the airport entrance on the highway where the (non-airport) taxis are lined up. There is a nice wide sidewalk, but certainly no shade.
I am planning on taking the ADO bus on Monday to Pochutla for the market as I would prefer a comfortable bus ride vs. a 4 door subcompact car (even for just an hour). Also I think you are going to find that the taxi rates have changed. I will try to ask a driver or 2 tomorrow.and post back.

That would be amazing, thank you! Obviously taxi is more convenient but we are not in a rush and the trip isn’t far.

Thanks @46jimbo. I am sure they are a legitimate airline; not a safety concern but more around service. No matter as we have already booked flights to PE.
