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 vs. Cancun, PDC, Tulum and Cabo

So let’s talk about Zipolite and compare it to other places that are known for being hot Mexico destinations. We’ve been to Cancun, Tulum, Playa del Carmen and Cabo several times. This includes family resorts and adult only. And swinger and swinger-want-to-be resorts (the Desire Resorts and Temptation). Cancun was fun, but way too built up

Temptation went from a nice laid back sexy experience to neon glitz. The Desire resorts were a lot of fun, but eventually just too much everything. We used to love Tulum - small, hippie, and clothing optional if that was your thing. Now it’s so changed. Tulum is great for a weekend, but it’s gotten way too glitzy, pretentious and Instagram-able — not to mention way too expensive!

We found Zipolite to be a great laid back, still-bohemian experience (beaches and several of the hotels and beach bars are clothing optional). If you want a swinger experience, you can try to join the Naughty Events week, or even the Nude Festival the following weekend. If you want a sexy laid back vacation, where you can tour other.coastal towns (Mazunte during the day, for example) start with some other (in season) week first, and see what you might find!
