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.

Oaxaca de Juárez.- The Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (Cofepris) qualified 15 beaches in the Coastal region of Oaxaca as suitable for recreational use, reported the Health Services (SSO).


Prior to the next holiday period of Holy Week 2023, the agency analyzed seawater at 17 sampling points in three main tourist destinations: Huatulco, Puerto Escondido and Puerto Ángel, in order to "obtain the geometric mean and generate a statistical value that makes it possible to indicate whether or not a beach represents a risk to the health of bathers”.


According to the results, in the municipality of Santa María Huatulco the beaches Maguey, Bahía Santa Cruz, La Entrega, Chahué, La Bocana, Tangolunda; In Puerto Ángel the beaches: Principal, Panteón, Zipolite, as well as in Puerto Escondido: Puerto Angelito, Carrizalillo, Marinero, Zicatela, Principal and Bacocho, comply with the safety guidelines established by the World Health Organization (WHO), for what are considered “safe and clean” for this next vacation period.

In this regard, the Oaxaca Health Services specified that the program aims to "identify risks to the health of the native population of these localities, as well as national and foreign tourists, taking into account the concentration of enterococci."


Official data indicates that for a beach to be considered safe it must have a maximum permissible limit of 200 enterococci, the most probable number per 100 milliliters (NMP/100 ml) of seawater, in accordance with criteria established in official regulations.


That is why monitoring the quality of water for recreational use "is a primary factor in reducing the risks to the well-being of families that use the beaches, reducing the risk of suffering from digestive, respiratory, skin diseases, conjunctivitis among others, especially on the eve of holiday periods, when the influx of people increases, ”says the agency.

"The population is urged to collaborate to care for and maintain the cleanliness of the beaches, since this work is a responsibility of all of us," he concludes.

Oaxaca de Juárez.- La Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios (Cofepris) calificó como aptas para uso recreativo 15 playas en la región Costa de Oaxaca, informaron los Servicios de Salud (SSO).

Previo al próximo período vacacional de Semana Santa 2023, el organismo analizó el agua de mar en 17 puntos de muestreo de tres principales destinos turísticos: HuatulcoPuerto Escondido y Puerto Ángel, con la finalidad de “obtener la media geométrica y generar un valor estadístico que permita señalar si una playa representa o no un riesgo para la salud de las y los bañistas”.

Según los resultados, en el municipio de Santa María Huatulco las playas Maguey, Bahía Santa Cruz, La Entrega, Chahué, La Bocana, Tangolunda; en Puerto Ángel las playas: la Principal, Panteón, Zipolite, así como en Puerto Escondido: Puerto Angelito, Carrizalillo, Marinero, Zicatela, Principal y Bacocho, cumplen los lineamientos de seguridad establecidos por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), por lo que se consideran “seguras y limpias” para este próximo periodo vacacional.

Al respecto los Servicios de Salud de Oaxaca precisaron que el programa tiene como objetivo “identificar riesgos para la salud de la población originaria de estas localidades, así como de turistas nacionales y extranjeros, tomando en consideración la concentración de enterococos”.

Los datos oficiales indican que para que una playa se considere segura debe tener un límite permisible máximo de 200 enterococos, número más probable por cada 100 mililitros (NMP/100 ml) de agua de mar, de acuerdo con criterios establecidos en la normatividad oficial.

Es por ello que vigilar la calidad del agua para el uso recreativo “es un factor primordial para disminuir los riesgos al bienestar de las familias que hace uso de las playas, disminuyendo el riesgo de sufrir enfermedades digestivas, respiratorias, de la piel, conjuntivitis entre otras, sobre todo en víspera de los periodos vacacionales, cuando aumenta la afluencia de personas”, señala la dependencia.

Por ello, como parte de la vigilancia previa al periodo de Semana Santa, los SSO, a través de la Jurisdicción Sanitaria No. 4 Costa realizó la toma de muestras de agua de mar, las cuales fueron analizadas en el Laboratorio Estatal de Salud Pública, de acuerdo con la metodología establecida por la Cofepris.

“Se exhorta a la población a colaborar para cuidar y mantener la limpieza de las playas, ya que esta labor es una responsabilidad de todas y todos”, finaliza.
