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, Oax. November 23, 2024.- Oaxaca's natural wonders, architectural beauty and rich cultural diversity continue to attract national and international productions.

For this reason, the Oaxaca Tourism Secretariat (Sectur) highlighted in a statement that the state is becoming a stage for cinematography.

The filming of “Falsas Ilusiones,” the provisional title of the first film by director Rafael Martínez Montiel, produced by Tepeyac Films, reflects the growing interest in Oaxaca as a location for audiovisual productions. During the current administration, Sectur has provided support to approximately 10 projects, including soap operas, films, short films, documentaries and series.

The support provided includes various areas, such as suggesting locations, support in the scouting process, managing permits from municipal and state authorities, disseminating productions, among other key actions to facilitate the development of these projects.

Filming of the movie began in the city of Oaxaca, in emblematic places such as the Benito Juárez Market, the outskirts of the Temple of Santo Domingo, the main square of the city and various streets in the Historic Center, as well as in the municipality of Santiago Matatlán.

In the near future, production will move to the Oaxacan coast to film in places such as the Magical Town of Mazunte and Zipolite, which is the only nudist beach in Oaxaca and a Biocultural Heritage Site.

Sectur Oaxaca highlighted that the impact of these productions goes beyond the screen, since when broadcast on streaming platforms and national and international television networks, they contribute significantly to the promotion of tourist destinations in Oaxaca, positioning the state as a reference in both the film and tourism industries.
