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.

What's Happening in Mexico Right Now?

Hi Mexico-loving friends,

I hope this email finds you well.

It's been an interesting few weeks here in Mexico and there is lots of good news to announce as of today regarding covid in Mexico.

Feeling at Home in San Jose del Cabo

We've now been living in San Jose del Cabo for about three weeks and we've really fallen in love.

I like to believe that I'm one of those people that can make anywhere feel like home (like when I lived in a rural Korean town for a year!), but there's something about San Jose del Cabo that really does feel like home.

We've been loving our days here. When we're not working from home, we're walking to the beach, wandering the colorful streets of the Centro Historico, sitting in the plaza with a paleta, and enjoying lots and lots of seafood tacos.

You can catch up with all of the videos and blog posts for the last two weeks here:

What's Happening in Mexico Right Now?

Case numbers continue to decline in most parts of the country as the vaccine is being rolled out. There is a 42% decrease in daily case numbers this month, which now means there are no states in the "red" on the traffic light system.

Quintana Roo, the state where Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum are, has just moved from orange to yellow on the traffic light system. This means fewer restrictions, more capacity in restaurants and hotels, and in general that things appear to be moving in the right direction. You can read all about that in this article.

Other states that have moved into the yellow today are Baja California Sur, Nayarit (where Sayulita is), Jalisco (home to Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta), and Veracruz.

This article breaks down all of the changes that are occurring today around Mexico with regard to the traffic light system.

Although Mexico City remains in the orange, they are removing several restrictions that they had previously. From last week (February 22nd), you can once again dine indoors with a 20% capacity given to restaurants. Read all about the restrictions currently in place in Mexico City here.

I also highly recommend following Ubish Yaren on Instagram if you are interested in keeping as up to date as possible about what's happening in Mexico City. He is offering regular weekly updates about the situation there.

As always, a great place to keep up to date with news about Mexico in English is Mexico News Daily.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to email me by simply hitting reply on this email.

Speak soon,

Laura
