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.

They restrict the practice of nudism on Oaxaca beaches: "go to Zipolite" Authorities noted an increase in nudism during the holiday season.


Playas de Oaxaca prohíben la práctica del nudismo - Grupo Milenio

After identifying an increase in the practice of nudism on beaches in the municipality of Santa María Tonameca in the Oaxaca Coast region , municipal authorities began a restriction campaign by installing signage .

Geovani Ríos Ramírez , municipal director of Civil Protection , reported that the practice of nudism is carried out mainly by foreign visitors and has intensified on the Mazunte , San Agustinillo and Ventanilla beaches - the main tourist corridor in the district.

"On our tours we have detected nudism, we always draw their attention because sometimes there are boys or girls, there are foreigners who are not very cautious... and we recommend that they go to Zipolite beach because it is a nudist beach there," he said.

In that sense, he pointed out that with the endorsement of the municipal authorities and tourism service providers, the installation of signs with messages asking not to practice nudism began .

"We put them because sometimes they don't listen to us and we sometimes have to call Public Security to get their attention, the intention is not to give them a bad image but to share with them that they are not nudist beaches," stated the municipal director of Civil protection .

The municipal official emphasized that the measure does not correspond to a restriction on entering the beaches, "tourists can be on the beaches, it is only recommended not to do nudism."

Geovani Ríos Ramírez asserted that this practice intensified throughout last year, during the festivals of Mazunte , San Agustinillo and the Jazz Festival , events that brought together hundreds of visitors.

“They want to make the beaches more liberal, it is uncomfortable for local tourists, they step aside and can no longer enjoy bathing on the beaches,” he noted.
