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.

Zapotengo...think I need to go back.






Zapotengo about 8 nautical miles down from Zipolite but about a long hours drive, we went to explore. The 3 kilometer drive off highway 200 to Playa Zapotengo is brutal including a river fording.
The playa is about three miles long headland to headland and Soo and I had it to ourshelves but for those of nature. The Lagoon Zapotengo rest behind the playa for about a half mile and it's a Mexican National wildlife refuge. Many birds, cayman and freshwater fish, clams and shrimp. Plant life abounds here.
