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.

Drafting / Ventanaver. Zipolite Beaches, Pochutla, Oax., October 6, 2020.- This Tuesday morning a strange sea creature appeared on Zipolite beaches that surprised the locals because they had not seen something like this in that area which They assure that it appeared after an earthquake that was felt in that Pochutleco municipality.

This strange creature is a large but brown fish that ate something poisonous to it and died and the sea threw it onto the beach, however others say that the characteristics of this fish are different.

When in doubt of what species it is, they have already arrived at the personal place of the University of the Sea of Puerto Ángel to study it and also to know what it died of.

Although apparently they say that if it is a Morena fish

It will be the biologists who later reveal what species it is and what died and because it looks like a very strange sea creature where the fishermen say not to see such a creature seen.
