Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: CHRONICLES 5 I liked to go early to Playa del Amor because there were no people. Eventually I ran into some fisherman with a knife in hand, to then dive into the bustling sea of this place and disappear until after a while, emerge with some seafood delicacy, lobster or fish. Hell yeah they waved and never mess with me. People of Zipo are cordial and friendly. It's fascinating to walk around the area watching the crash of waves causing refreshing dips. And for a change, the motorcycle salesman, who was calm kept me company talking about this or that.

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.

CRONICA 5

Me gustaba ir temprano a Playa del Amor porque no había gente. Eventualmente me topé con algún pescador con navaja en mano, para luego sumergirse entre el alborotado mar de este lugar y desaparecer hasta después de un tiempo, emerger con algún manjar marino, langosta o pescado. Eso sí, saludaban y nunca se metieron conmigo. La gente de Zipo es cordial y amable. Es fascinante recorrer la zona observando el choque de olas que provocan refrescantes chapusones. Y para variar el vendedor de mota, quien tranquilo me hacía compañía platicando de esto o aquello.
