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.

Summer Surfing Way Down South

4AUG

Enjoy a tropical laid back fishing town with the comforts and foods that will put a smile on your face.

Perfect place to stay in Puerto right in front of the beach in Zicatela, with dorms or really nice cabañas, a Bar & Grill or cook your own concoctions in the communal kitchen on the second floor with a view that doesn't quit. Make your reservations here http://www.puertoescondidohotel.net/ and catch a wave, or enjoy the wonderful beaches we have so close by to snorkel, dive, deep sea fishing, you name it. We'll point you in the right direction.
