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.

Overview

Discover the enchanting attraction of Zipolite, a hidden gem nestled along Oaxaca’s Pacific coast, just 75 minutes from Huatulco! Zipolite is a quintessential Mexican beach town both relaxed and vibrant. Zipolite’s claim to fame is its nude beach. In fact, since 2016, Playa Zipolite is Mexico’s first and only legal nude beach. It’s not required to be nude, however, most beachgoers stick to their swimwear.

Our day will include shopping, swimming in the sparkling ocean, sunbathing, and an eclectic three-course lunch with cold drinks at the hotel that put Zipolite on the map. Next stop, a mezcal tasting (the Oaxacan spirit of choice). Last stop: in hand – your beverage of choice — as you sit on a swing under a beach hut and the sand tickles your toes. Of course, you’ll have a spectacular ocean view.
