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.

It’ll probably be a bit of a challenge to find Baileys or anything specifically labeled Irish cream. But there are flavored mezcales that are quite creamy and might serve as a decent substitute. They come in many flavors, so you might have to search a bit to find one that works well with coffee.
And I’m not sure if you can find them in Zipolite, but there is a nice souvenir shop near the turtle center in Mazunte that will likely have some. And a few other shops near it that have a relatively decent alcohol selection. I’d hop on a pasajero (the trucks that serve as colectivos) to head there to check it out. That’s probably your best bet.
Enjoy your coffee! Sounds like a perfect start to a day on the beach in Zipolite!

The Mexican version is called Glenbays, actually quite good, and I would be shocked if it cannot be sourced somewhere along one of the beach communities. certainly in the larger centers.
