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.

Transport around Puerto Angel
Hi
We're staying in Puerto Angel for a few days in early November and would like to explore the coast and surrounding area. We'd definitely like to visit Mazunte and Zipolite but I think it would also be nice to take a day trip to Puerto Escondido.
What I'd like to know is how easy it is to navigate this area using the camionetas and colectivos? A bit of googling has revealed that from Puerto Angel the camionetas run up to Pochutla rather than west along the coast, so we'd have to change there to get to Mazunte etc. Any advice as to how well served Puerto Angel is by the colectivos would be really helpful.
Thanks!

Colectivos run between P.A. and La Ventanilla including Zipolite, San Agustinillo and Mazunte on the lower road (175). You can take one to San Agustinillo and walk 10 minutes to Mazunte. You might find it's a few short rides with different drivers. Easiest to Puerto Escondido is colectivo to Pochutla and jump on the bus for the main road (200). You can also have a taxi give you a colectivo rate and pick up other fares along the way. Colectivos are not the combis or vans of the east coast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heI2iypyJuI
