Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Día Mundial de las Tortugas Marinas World Sea Turtle Day

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.

Día Mundial de las Tortugas Marinas

El 16 de junio se celebra el Día Mundial de las Tortugas Marinas, uno de los animales más antiguos y en peligro de extinción. La celebración de este día coincide con el nacimiento en el año 1909 del conservacionista de tortugas marinas Archie Carr, cuya ardua labor contribuyó a la protección de esta especie. Fue un conservacionista de Alabama que luchó durante toda su vida por el mantenimiento de las poblaciones de tortugas, principalmente en Costa Rica. 

La contaminación de los océanos, los cambios climáticos, la utilización de redes para la pesca y los ataques por parte de depredadores en la época de incubación de huevos, amenazan con la extinción de las Tortugas Marinas. Súmate a la protección y el cuidado de esta especie. No consumas huevos de tortugas, cuida la zona de desove de las tortugas y no dejes basura en las playas.Comité Ambiental ESIME Zacatenco

Oceans pollution, climate change, fishing net use and targeting predators at egg hatching time threaten the extinction of sea turtles. Join the protection and care of this species. Don't consume turtle eggs, take care of the spawning area of turtles and don't leave trash on the beaches. Comité Ambiental ESIME Zacatenco
