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.

#CivilProtection || Rescue in #Zipolite and #damage in the #Isthmus due to
strong #swells on the coasts of Oaxaca
The State Coordination of Civil Protection and Risk Management (CEPCyGR) reported
that the swell phenomenon will continue to impact the coasts of Oaxaca for the next
three days, creating hazardous conditions for residents, tourists, and those engaged
in maritime activities. The warning was issued after rescue teams responded to an
incident at Zipolite beach, where lifeguards assisted swimmers who entered the water
despite warning signs.
According to the agency, the oceanic event is causing high waves, rip currents, and
variations in sea level, especially on open beaches along the Oaxacan coast. Authorities
reiterated their call to avoid walking on breakwaters, seawalls, and rocky areas, and to
follow the instructions of Civil Protection and Port Captaincies.
