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.

Organizers assure that Zipolite beach is safe

Despite the contingency due to Covid-19 in Oaxaca, the Zipolite nudist festival will take place from January 29 to February 1.



Municipal and health authorities of San Pedro Pochutla, indicated that there are adequate conditions for the festival.

Benjamín Martínez, representative of the municipality's Communal Assets, pointed out that the nudist festival seeks to recover part of what was lost by Covid.

He added that local authorities and organizers promised to ensure the health of the nudists during the contingency.

During the festival, the mandatory use of face masks and the healthy distance on Zipolite beach will be maintained to avoid crowds.

Likewise, the festival's service providers must implement the corresponding protocols against Covid, he added.

At the moment, Oaxaca remains on a yellow traffic light due to Covid-19 and San Pedro Pochutla reports a total of 145 cases and 10 deaths.

It is the second time that the state goes to a yellow light, after returning to orange at the end of 2020 to avoid a rebound in cases.



Similarly, Zipolite became a trend after the Undersecretary of Health, Hugo López-Gatell, was caught taking his vacation.

The mayor of San Pedro Pochutla published on social networks the stay in Zipolite of the person in charge of handling the pandemic.

López-Gatell suffered harsh criticism for going on vacation amid the Covid-19 contingency and for not following sanitary measures.
