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.

Bob Hannaford Here are some photos of Zipolite. It’s quite a disaster. But the great news is no one I talk to has said anyone has been hurt or worse. Everyone is out clearing streets, working hard, the community will come together and rebuild. I just wanted to show the world what it looks like. I won’t have Internet most of the rest of the day, I’m gonna post what I can and I will post again tonight. I ran into Diego, Vincent, Sam and Ricardo, gabby from the cinema Paco and Javier from La Providencia, The people from hostile Teresa, Paul and Ivonne, Chon, Kelly from Livelula, and many others. They are all fine. It’s almost impossible to get word out, I’m fortunate that I have access to a generator and a satellite to get these images out so the world can see what’s going on here. Everyone I’ve talked to says everyone is fine. It’s going to be a long road ahead.
