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.

Hola my Mexico-loving friends!

Hola my Mexico-loving friends!


This month's email comes to you as I prepare to return to beautiful (and warm and sunny!) Mexico in a few days.


I'm headed to a new-to-me city and state, Veracruz (my 22nd Mexican state!). I'm excited to spend a few days there before I begin a bigger adventure that will take me around some off-the-beaten-path spots around the state of Oaxaca, finishing in the beautiful capital city of the same name.


I haven't been to Oaxaca since 2018. I'm intrigued to see how much it has changed and to enjoy the incredible food culture of Mexico's culinary capital.


Of course, I'll be sharing live updates from the road on Instagram and Facebook and once I'm home I'll be writing about it on my blog and sharing videos on YouTube. I can't wait to explore more of this magical country!

Mexico News from Around the Web

Northern and central Mexico are preparing for what will once again be a drought-filled dry season. If you are planning trips around Mexico in April and May, it's worth noting that there will likely be very severe water restrictions by this point in the year. You can read more about it here.

​Mexico has extradited 29 cartel members to the United States this week, including the infamous drug lord alleged to be responsible for hte death of DEA agent Kiki Moreno (depicted in the Netflix show Narcos Mexico).

Mexico continues to be the #1 destination in the world where Americans emigrate. In 2024, close to 800,000 Americans were living in Mexico. It far surpasses the second most popular country, Canada, where fewer than 300,000 Americans currently reside. Read more about it here.

As egg prices soar across the US, border agents are now dealing with a very different type of smuggling. There have been reports of people crossing from Tijuana to San Diego with carloads of eggs!

Visiting Mexico Soon?

If you are planning a trip to Mexico soon, I hope you'll have a browse of the different Mexico guides on my blog or have a search through my YouTube videos to help you plan your trip!


Many of you already know that the updated version of my Los Cabos guidebook came out in November. If you haven’t already purchased it, you can buy a digital copy of it here or a paperback copy of it on Amazon here.


I also have an extensive guidebook available for Mexico City which also receives regular updates. Anytime you buy a digital guidebook, you have access to lifetime updates completely free. So your guidebooks from me are never out of date!


Have you Recently Purchased the Los Cabos Travel Guide?

If you have purchased or used the most recent version of my Los Cabos Travel Guide, even if it was the digital version, it would mean the world to me if you took a few minutes to write a review on Amazon. Reviews help me reach more people and continue to do this work as a full-time job.
