Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Changes for Re-Entering the US

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.

Changes for Re-Entering the US

Some of you may have already heard, but as of the 21st of January, anyone entering the United States must have proof of a negative Covid test regardless of whether you are a citizen or not. This means if you are leaving Mexico and returning to the US on or after January 21st, you will need to have a Covid test before leaving Mexico.

The US Consulate here in Mexico has conveniently put together a comprehensive list of hospitals all over the country where you can get a Covid test depending on where you will be. You will need to contact the hospitals directly, but it's a great place to get started if you are going to be somewhere in Mexico and aren't sure where to get a Covid test.

You can find that full list here.
