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  Oaxacan coast is one of the favorites  for national and foreign tourists due to the clarity and calm of its waters, as well as the wide range of services , from something quiet to those who want fun.

The  views of the bay will spark your interest in getting closer to the sea , something that will be completed with the opportunity to enjoy a private beach.

Playa la Entrega is a place where its crystal-clear waters will allow you to do one of the most popular water activities in the area, which is observing the coral reefs through diving or snorkelling.

One of the characteristics of La Entrega is that the waters of this beach are emerald green . In some areas of the beach, the waves are imperceptible and in others they are light; in general, it is a fairly calm beach.

Chahue Beach

With colors between blue and green, the sea at Chahué beach will invite you to dive in and enjoy the sun that warms its whitish sand.

This spot also attracts a significant number of people, and it is an area where you can see how turtles lay their eggs on the beach.

The activity takes place in the summer, so in addition to a greater number of visitors, you will find authorities who ensure the protection of the turtles and their eggs.

San Agustin Beach

The white coral reefs are the main attraction of this beach on the Oaxacan coast, so snorkeling and diving in the crystal-clear waters of the sea is a must-do activity.

San Agustín stands out because it is spacious and offers a certain privacy for those who want to get away from the crowds, as it is not so easy to access by car. If you are planning to go with your partner, it will be a perfect date full of romance.

In this town on the Oaxacan coast, one of the main attractions is its nudist beach , which is visited by locals and foreigners looking to put their clothes aside for a while to swim without any problem and enjoy the paradise that Zipolite offers them.

The place does not have a large tourist infrastructure, it is really quite rustic , but that does not take away from its charm, apart from the fact that it offers its visitors the opportunity to feel free to enjoy its beach as they wish.
