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.

Zipolite Beach (Mexico)

Zipolite Beach (Mexico): strong underwater Pacific and small beach with silky white sand and turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean attracts many tourists. However, local residents prefer to avoid this place - especially during the period from April to June, when the water, as they say here, “riots”.  This riot is expressed by a strong undercurrent, including the reverse, which is difficult to notice from the shore. In addition, during the summer months, during the full moon, the ebbs and flows of extraterritorial waters usually occur, the strength of the flow of which is difficult to handle even for an adult. The danger is also enhanced by sea cliffs and cliffs that hide in the deep ocean.
 Each year, the Mexican authorities spend decent amounts on organizing the work of rescuers, and indeed since 2007 no deaths have been recorded on the beach (although in 2010 180 people were officially saved who could not cope with the course, ignoring the red flags installed on the shore) .  By the way, the name of the beach and the bay - Zipolite - is very alarming in itself: in translation from the local Sapotek dialect, this means "shore of the dead." Nevertheless, the beach is known as one of the main summer goals of nudists and hippies from around the world: rest there is inexpensive, and the places are picturesque.
