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.

Friday La Habana Report

Friday La Habana Report
7 cars, 3 SUV's, 1 Quad, 3 motor cycles (one is an adventure bike) and a Mini Cooper. La Habana parking lot has some room, but not much.
Tent count 52 and I expect more by tonight.
Weather: Mostly sunny, currently 88⁰F (and that's the daily high) cooling to 70⁰F tonight. Should be this way for the next 10 days.
Beach is busy as Zipolite gears up for New Years. Almost impossible to park a car in Roche Blanca. Walking is the answer.
