Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: RIP Gloria. What a wonderful person and what great things you accomplished. You live forever.

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.

So on this day, 1994, I flew into Huatulco, arrived late in the afternoon and hired a combi to take me to Gloria's. I had met Gloria in the mid 70's and hadn't seen her since 1988 so it was great visiting with her again. There was a great New Years celebration on the beach that had started around sunset and lasted until after midnight. 

We woke up the next morning to the sound of military helicopters flying over on their way to Chiapas and soldiers passing through the area on their way to confront the Zapatistas. 

I will miss being able to meet my old friend again. RIP Gloria. What a wonderful person  and what great things you accomplished. You live forever.
