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.

Non solo Cabo: 9 fughe poco conosciute sulla costa messicana del Pacifico - Lonely Planet

9. Zipolite and Mazunte, Oaxaca

The ultimate in unconventional relaxation


Zipolite and Mazunte are two coastal towns just a stone’s throw from the livelier, more developed Puerto Escondido. The only officially nudist beach in Mexico, Zipolite is a bohemian retreat where anything goes—a sunrise yoga session, lazy afternoons in a hammock, a nude dip in the rushing ocean. The currents here are strong and the waves powerful, so swimming requires experience and a good level of fitness. For a quieter experience, head to the sheltered Playa del Amor, a cove tucked away on the eastern edge of Zipolite. At sunset, the entire town gathers on the beach, drinks in hand, to watch the sky turn molten gold.


A few miles away, Mazunte has a more eco-conscious and holistic vibe. This tiny seaside village is famous for the Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga, a facility dedicated to the protection of sea turtles. The Punta Cometa lookout offers breathtaking views. Mazunte is also a center for yoga and alternative medicine retreats, perfect for those seeking a rejuvenating escape in close contact with nature.
