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.

No no no!!! I am NOT going to talk, comment or cite anything negative about my stay in Zipolite, for the simple reason that there was NO incident. Quite the opposite. This visit to Zipo was very nice. From the moment you walk through the cobblestones, you feel at home, where you can choose from an expensive hotel to the cheapest. Everything is a matter of each person's pocket. I was in various hotels in the area. I wanted to experiment. Some even served bar and kitchenette offered. Air-conditioning. Television. All the services. But, there was one that made me remember the first times I visited this paradisiacal place. The Shambhala located on a high area on the right side of this famous beach. I love the rustic, the informal, the wood, the palms, zero luxuries. Sleeping in a cabin in this place is a magical experience, when inside it you breathe tranquility, peace, cordiality with yourself. Inside you can read, listen to music, think, meditate, reflect or throw yourself on the hammock and start counting the stars that take care of your stay. Day or night living in Shambhala is a gift from God. Visiting its Meditation Hill is another prize, from where one can shudder with the sunset. This is Zipolite. This is living grateful with life. This is what I like to live. The beach of the dead, meaning of the word Zipolite, invited me to walk barefoot, naked, letting myself be caressed by the rays of the January sun. People come and go. Many in bathing suits, others without. I observed the impressive natural attitude of a unique naturism. No one sees anyone with an accusing look. On the contrary, everyone admires nudity quite naturally. And this is to be appreciated. Surveillance? I saw a couple of them on motorcycles. There is no need. Everyone in this place is respected, cared for, appreciated. There is so much nice to talk about Zipolite that I will do it another time. If you want to know it, live the experience. Live your experience. Live paradise.

No no no!!! NO voy a platicar, comentar o citar algo negativo de mi estancia en Zipolite, por la simple razón que NO hubo incidente alguno. Todo lo contrario. Esta visita a Zipo fue muy agradable. Desde que entras caminando por el adoquin te sientes como en casa, donde puedes elegir desde un hotel caro hasta el más económico. Todo es cuestión del bol$illo de cada quién. Yo estuve en varios hoteles del lugar. Quería experimentar. Algunos hasta servibar y cocineta ofrecieron. Aire acondicionado. Televisión. Todos los servicios. Pero, hubo uno que me hizo recordar las primeras veces que visite este paradisíaco lugar. El Shambhala fincado sobre una zona alta del lado derecho de esta famosa playa. Yo amo lo rústico, lo informal, la madera, las palmas, cero lujos. Dormir en una cabaña en este lugar es una mágica experiencia, cuando dentro de ella respiras tranquilidad, paz, cordialidad contigo mismo. Allí dentro puedes leer, escuchar música, pensar, meditar, reflexionar o tirarte sobre la hamaca y ponerte a contar las estrellas que cuidan de tu estadía. De día o noche vivir en el Shambhala es un regalo de Dios. Visitar su Loma de Meditación es otro premio, desde donde se puede estremecer uno con la puesta del sol. Esto es Zipolite. Esto es vivir agradecido con la vida. Esto es lo que a mi me gusta vivir.
La playa de los muertos, significado de la palabra Zipolite, me invitó a caminar descalzo, desnudo, dejándome acariciar por los rayos del sol de enero. La gente va y viene. Muchos en traje de baño, otros sin él. Observé la impresionante actitud natural de un naturismo único. Nadie ve a nadie con mirada acusadora. Al contrario, todo mundo admira la desnudez con amplia naturalidad. Y esto es de agradecerse. Vigilancia? Vi un par de ellos en moto. No hay necesidad. Todo mundo en este lugar se respeta, se cuida, se aprecia. Hay tanto bonito que hablar de Zipolite que ya lo haré en otra ocasión. Si quieres conocerlo vive la experiencia. Vive tu experiencia. Vive el paraíso.
