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.

San Pedro Pochutla, Oax.- The Oaxaca Coast has different beach resorts, sites that are so important and internationally famous that they have two international airports, such is the case of Puerto Escondido and Bahías de Huatulco.

As a very important and strategically located intermediate point is the municipality of San Pedro Pochutla, which also offers a variety of beautiful beaches that, due to their beauty, are a great attraction for visitors. However, some of these beaches are not so well known.

As we well know, among the most popular are Zipolite and Puerto Ángel, but there are many more of singular beauty and about these, below we share some details for which they are well worth visiting.

A well deserved rest in Playa de Estacahuite

Of course, on the trip to the beaches of the municipality of San Pedro Pochutla, it is mandatory to visit the beaches of Puerto Ángel and Zipolite (this by the way is an internationally known nudist beach). Both places have a range of tourist services that include accommodation, restaurants and bars, very pleasant and where you will live unforgettable moments with whoever accompanies you on your trip.

Love beach

It is located in Zipolite, here you can rent a boat, as well as you can practice snorkeling and diving. This beach has golden sand, calm waves and crystal clear waters.

Estacahuite Beach

It is located a little before arriving at Puerto Ángel, you can arrive by land or also by sea. It has tourist services, highlighting the Casa Bichu hotel, which is very elegant and where there is also a restaurant with international cuisine, as well as lunches that will conquer your palate.

This beach is divided into three parts by two groups of rocks and is approximately 100 meters long by 30 wide. It has a moderate slope and its sand is golden with medium grain; the water is warm and crystalline, with green and blue tones.

Municipal authorities recommend being careful with coral reefs, as well as the entire ecosystem and the environment in general. In Estacachuite, snorkeling becomes a magical experience that you will carry on your mind for the rest of your life.

La Boquilla Beach

Another wonderful little-known beach is: La Boquilla, 120 meters long; It is distinguished by its golden sand, its medium grain and an intense slope. It has warm, blue-green waters and shallow depths, excellent for swimming and freediving.

Despite the fact that "La Boquilla" is a beach of great peace and tranquility, we recommend that children are always very well supervised by an adult, so that in this way we return to our destinations, safe and sound, having lived a stay on the beaches of Pochutla, as you have never enjoyed the sea and nature before.

Tembo Bay

Tembo Bay

Another wonderful place to enjoy the sea of ​​Pochutla is nothing more than the "Tembo" Bay, which is located in a protected area but has access to the public, of course with all the recommendations to raise awareness of its care.

It is located between Bahías de Huatulco and San Pedro Pochutla, and access indicators can be seen on federal highway 200. It belongs to the jurisdiction of Pochutla and the locals are very attentive to ensure that nobody mistreats the flora and fauna, being themselves in charge of the security of the place.

Swimming and camping are allowed, so visitors will appreciate having attended to be in contact with nature, in a lonely bay where they will find the right environment to reflect and reinvent themselves.

Pantheon Beach

This beautiful beach is located west of the Main Bay of Puerto Ángel. Its sparkling waters invite you to swim and snorkel. As well as you can rent a boat where, if you are lucky, it is likely that you can see fish, turtles and dolphins.

One of the most recommended beaches in Oaxaca is Playa Panteón, which, due to its calm waves, is very suitable for swimming, but also very good sport fishing is achieved, as well as for diving.

Cuatunalco Beach

This mystical beach is located about 32 kilometers from Huatulco National Park.

Its mysticism will invite you to get rid of worries and relax listening to the sound of the waves of the sea. On this beach you can spend an afternoon surrounded by nature, in addition to observing the flora and fauna, while enjoying the sun, sand and sea, also having the option of horseback riding along different trails and streams, if it is in a sunset is incredible.

Zapotengo

In addition to having a beach in the open sea, Zapotengo has an incredible lagoon where the mangrove is a great attraction. The locals offer a canoe ride gently paddling, and in turn they explain about the fauna of the place.

Its beach is relaxing due to the sound of its waves and the beautiful landscape that accentuates its beauty every afternoon with the sublime sunset that is appreciated here every day of the year.

In Zapotengo, there is also delicious food for all tastes, where locals can prepare dishes with the catch of the day.

In this place, baby turtles are also released, in order to highlight the importance of caring for the environment.
