Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: 🌞 Something amazing happened this morning!

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.

🌞 Something amazing happened this morning!
I woke up extra early before work to look for this mama dog who recently had her puppies in Puerto Angel. She technically has an owner, but she spends most of her time on the street and even gave birth there. 💔

Every Tuesday and Thursday, our incredible vet Christian in Zipolite offers affordable sterilizations. I do my best to bring as many animals as possible to her on those days.

This mama’s sterilization costs only 500 pesos (about 27 USD), and I’d love your help to make it happen. I happily donate my time and gasoline, but I rely on your support to cover the vet costs for these surgeries.
