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.

Zipolite seeks to consolidate itself as an artistic destination with the MANCHA Arts Festival 2026

From February 6 to 8, 2026  , Zipolite will vibrate with art, music, gastronomy and activities for the whole family in the second edition of the   MANCHA Arts Festival  , an initiative that seeks to consolidate this iconic beach of Oaxaca also as a cultural reference of the Mexican Pacific.

“We want people to stay longer, to discover that Zipolite is much more than just partying and nudism,” explains   Cheram Morales  , director and curator of   175 Uno Siete Cinco Galería de Arte Actual  , the driving force behind the festival. And the numbers back up this strategy: the 2025 Nudist Encounter generated an economic impact of   26.7 million pesos  . MANCHA aims to extend that stay with a powerful cultural offering.

What to expect at MANCHA 2026?

  • Exhibition of   30 national and international artists   (in 2023 there were only 7!)
  • Concerts, performances and activities in hotels, restaurants and public spaces
  • Children's workshops and gastronomic experiences
  • Interventions in the renovated   Art Walkway  , formerly a forgotten place and now one of the most photographed sites in Zipolite

Open and free call for artists

Attention creators! The call for entries remains open until  Friday, December 5, 2025.  The selected participants will be announced on December 19. Best of all:  participation is 100% free  , which is rare for festivals of this size.

"Normally, artists pay to exhibit. We want the opposite: for them to come, show their work, and together we can grow art on the coast," says Cheram Morales.

A change of perspective

The festival also seeks to demystify stereotypes. Zipolite is no longer just “the beach where anything goes.” Thanks to projects like the 175 Uno Siete Cinco gallery (the first contemporary art gallery in the area) and the Art Walkway, today there are families strolling, open galleries, and murals that illuminate the night.

"Before, that walkway was dark and unsafe. Today it is full of life and a different kind of visitor," says  Lunnia Campaña  , the project's administrative director.

Full support from the community and authorities

Hotels such as  Naked  ,  CAMP  ,  Casa Mexoni  , and  Ballelita  , restaurants like  Tap Room La Deliria  , and eco-friendly brands like  Desplastifícate  have already confirmed their support. The municipality of San Pedro Pochutla and the Municipal Agency of Zipolite also back the initiative, repeating their successful collaboration from the 2025 Mural Festival.
