Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Construction of a gas station threatens to impact an area of great natural wealth in Zipolite

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.

Construction of a gas station threatens to impact an area of great natural wealth in Zipolite

Construction of a gas station threatens to impact an area of great natural wealth in Zipolite

In 2018, residents of Zipolite organized ourselves concerned at the news of the construction of a gas station (on land that is surrounded by trees, wildlife and about 50 meters from a mangrove). In an attempt to save our community from more pollution and ecocides, a lawsuit was filed with the Ombudsman for Human Rights in Oaxaca, and was won.

Now, 4 years later, we are again faced with the same situation, since they are beginning to resume this construction, with the argument of being in pursuit of "progress", help us to stop this, we seek sustainable progress, one in which these resources are used for the good of the community building with a more ecological approach.
