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 Beach

Playa Zipolite is one of Mexico's most iconic beaches, located on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca. It's a long, wide beach with golden sand and strong surf, known for its high waves and strong currents, which give it a wild, untamed character. For years, this place has attracted travelers seeking freedom and relaxation – Zipolite is famous as the only official nudist beach in Mexico, where nudity is naturally accepted, though not mandatory. The beach has a distinctly hippie atmosphere: you'll find backpackers, surfers, artists, and practitioners of yoga and meditation. Small hotels, hostels, bars, and restaurants serving both local and international cuisine line the beach, and in the evenings, bonfire gatherings and spontaneous jam sessions are common. Zipolite is a place that combines nightlife with a space for spirituality – yoga classes, massages, traditional temazcal ceremonies, and other self-development practices are popular here.
