Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: This morning all over the beach in Zipolite, numerous Hydrophis Plauturus, sea serpents, were found. Due to the low temperature of the water. It is very important to know that they have aggressive behavior and have neurotoxic venom, considered one of the most toxic among venomous snakes; a bite from this species causes several symptoms, including continuous muscle spasms, swelling of the wound area, dysarthria (neuromuscular disorder with poor articulation of words) and apotosis (cell death), after a few hours it causes cardiac arrest. Remember in Zipolite there is no hospital.

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.

Esta mañana en toda la playa en Zipolite, se encontraron numerosas Hydrophis Plauturus, serpientes de mar. Debido a la baja temperatura del agua. 

Es muy importante saber que tienen comportamiento agresivo y poseen veneno neurotóxico, considerado uno de los más tóxicos entre las serpientes venenosas; una mordida de esta especie  causa varios síntomas, que incluyen espasmos musculares continuos, hinchazón de la zona de la herida, disartria (desorden neuromuscular con poca articulación de palabras) y apotosis (muerte celular), pasado unas horas produce paro cardíaco. Recuerden en Zipolite no hay hospital.
