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.

ACCIDENTS

Eight die after being swept away by the strong waves on different beaches in Oaxaca

Victims ignored the red flag signs and jumped into the sea



In Oaxaca . at least eight people have died from drowning on different beaches, as a result of the strong waves that have been registered on the coasts of the state for several weeks.

In most cases, the swells have washed away bathers, who, due to the force of the sea, cannot get out and lose their lives.

“We have approximately eight people who have died so far in 2021, two in the Huatulco area, two in the Zipolite area, two more in the San Agustinillo area, recently and finally two more in the Puerto Escondido area ... 50% or more than 50% of these drownings have been due to recklessness, ”said Esteban Vázquez, Civil Protection delegate on the Oaxaca coast.

For several weeks, the swell phenomenon has been present constantly along the coastal coast of Oaxaca, causing high waves, swells and drag currents.

“Puerto Escondido quite well, I mean, the swell is quite strong, the truth is, and it is not suitable right now to put the little ones, in fact, I bring a five-year-old and we are just making him walk on the shore Right? ”, Explained Teresa Rivera, a resident of the place.

"Yes, the red flag and the waves are very high, but then we don't go in and the beach is divine / Well yes, the truth is, it is a unique beach," Hanna mentioned.

Victims have ignored red flag signs

According to the authorities, in most of the accidents, the victims have ignored the red flag signs and go into the sea.

As a result of these deaths, the lifeguard corps have intensified their surveillance tours, to prevent more fatal incidents from occurring on the beaches of Oaxaca.

“So, we have been giving all these preventions, but hey, there we lose visibility, we cannot give this prevention, and that's what happens, right? where there are no lifeguard booths, it is a little risky to be entering, to be entering the sea, ”said Godofredo Vázquez, coordinator of the Puerto Escondido Lifeguard Corps.

So far this year, lifeguards in Puerto Escondido and other destinations on the Oaxaca Coast have carried out at least 10 rescues, in which they have saved tourists who were washed away from drowning.
