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.

The State Coordination of Civil Protection and Risk Management (CEPCyGR) urges the population of the coastal municipalities, from San Mateo del Mar in the Isthmus region, to Pinotepa Nacional in the Coast region, to be alert for event alerts of Mar de Fondo.

This natural phenomenon will generate strong waves and rip currents, so the agency issues the following recommendations:

• Follow the instructions of lifeguard personnel, Civil Protection authorities and Port Captaincies.
• Avoid walking on the sand strip, especially near the wave break.
• Do not drive in flooded areas.
• Under no circumstances enter the sea.
• Keep minors close and do not lose sight of them.
• Remove palapas, furniture and equipment from the beach area.
• Remove and safeguard small boats.
• Do not do water sports.

In the same way, the population is urged to heed Civil Protection notices and stay informed through official media and social networks: Facebook @CEPCYGRGobOax and on X @CEPCyGR_GobOax.
