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, Oaxaca. May 30, 2025 – Members of cooperatives in Playa Ventanilla alerted the public about the bocabarra phenomenon , which, due to recent rains, has created a strong connection between the Ventanilla Lagoon and the sea, causing several crocodiles to be swept onto various beaches along the Oaxacan coast.

During a broadcast from the beach, attributed to lifeguard Juan Eduardo García Escamilla, the moment in which specimens up to 4 meters long crossed the mouth of the river into the open sea was documented.

They warned that these animals may appear on beaches such as Zipolite, Puerto Ángel, Mazunte, San Agustinillo, or nearby communities.

Local authorities issued an urgent call to refrain from attacking the crocodiles or throwing objects, sticks, or stones at them. They explained that these reptiles do not pose an immediate threat and that their presence in the sea is due to a forced displacement caused by the rains that have connected freshwater bodies to the ocean.

If you see any of these animals, please immediately contact the Santa María Tonameca Civil Protection, the Ventanilla or Mazunte lifeguards, or community cooperatives, who are coordinating efforts to relocate the crocodiles to their natural habitat.

"They're not attacking, they're trying to get back in. The sea isn't their space; they're just using it to navigate in these circumstances. Help us protect them," they stated in their message to the public. They also reiterated the importance of reporting any sightings to prevent incidents and preserve the region's environmental balance.
