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.

Low-pressure area is now a tropical storm

Carlos will deliver heavy rains but is expected to remain offshore

  3  0
Very heavy and occasionally torrential rains are forecast for Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas following the formation of the third named storm of the Pacific hurricane season.
The tropical depression that formed off the Gulf of Tehuantepec officially became tropical storm Carlos today and as of 1:00pm Central Time was situated 350 kilometers south of Acapulco and 495 kilometers south-southeast of Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán, according to the National Meteorological Service.
The rains will be accompanied by thunderstorms and large waves. Heavy rain is also forecast for Veracruz and Michoacán.
Accuweather predicted the storm will remain well enough offshore that winds will not pose a threat, but warned there is a slight chance it will turn to the north and create damaging winds and widespread flooding in much of Guerrero and Oaxaca.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center expects Carlos to “meander northward” for the next two days, after which its direction will swing to the northwest or west-northwest.
No coastal watches or warnings are in effect.
Mexico News Daily
UPDATE, 6:20pm CT Thursday, June 11:
The National Hurricane Center said at 4:00pm that the storm is expected to strengthen over the next two days and become a hurricane by the weekend, but no coastal warnings were issued.

À l’heure où arrivent les vacances d’été, nous réfléchissons tous à une destination exotique où l’on pourrait faire du farniente sous les cocotiers tout en sirotant un cocktail de fruits frais. Mais sous leurs airs paradisiaques, certaines plages sont en fait les plus effrayantes du monde. Bancs de requins cachés sous l’eau turquoise, vol à la tire ou pollution… Si vous rechercher l’opposé, consulter notre dossier des 10 plus belles plages du monde !
Du Brésil à l’Australie en passant par Hawaï, découvrez les plages les plus dangereuses du monde.

Île Fraser, Australie

photo ile fraser asutralie
Inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, l’île Fraser est la plus grande île de sable du monde. Mais derrière ce cadre idyllique se cachent bien des dangers : requins et crocodiles dans l’eau, araignées aux blessures mortelles sur terre… La baignade y est interdite, et la vie pas de tout repos !

Hanakapiai Beach, Hawaï

photo hanakaipai beach
Depuis le mois de décembre 2008, près de 100 personnes se sont noyées dans cette plage aux apparences trompeuses. Une houle tellement puissante qu’elle peut emporter une personne qui a simplement les genoux dans l’eau.

Zipolite, Mexique

photo plage zipolite
Au sud du Mexique, Zipolite attire foule de touristes depuis les années 70. Un petit coin de paradis qui cache un danger : sa plage. Appelée par les habitants “La Playa de los muertos” (la plage des morts) – d’après la retranscription de son nom dans la langue des Zapotèques-, ses puissants contre-courants sont parmi les plus dangereux du pays !

Plage de Boa Viagem, Brésil

photo plage boa viagem
Au Nord-Est du Brésil, le littoral est réputé pour ses eaux chaudes et ses plages somptueuses. Mais dans la ville de Recife, 44 panneaux longent la plage de Boa Viagem pour avertir du danger des requins, qui ont attaqué des baigneurs à 60 reprises dans les 20 dernières années.

Chowpatty Beach, Inde

La plage de Chowpatty, la plus populaire des plages de Bombay, est également l’une des plages les plus polluées du monde… Des tonnes de déchets, de plastique et de verre emportés par les vagues qui rendent cette plage impropre à la baignade.

Acapulco, Mexique

photo plage acapulco
L’ancienne “perle du Pacifique”, qui accueillait dans le passé toutes les stars d’Hollywood, est aujourd’hui au coeur de la guerre des cartels de la drogue. Une ville devenue l’une des plus dangereuses du monde, tout comme sa magnifique baie, longue de 16 kilomètres.

L’atoll de Bikini, îles Marshall

photo atoll de bikini
Entre 1946 et 1958, 67 essais nucléaires ont été réalisés sur cet archipel de l’Océan Atlantique. Il est aujourd’hui possible d’y faire du tourisme, mais à la seule condition de signer une décharge indiquant que l’on renonce à toute poursuite en cas de cancer…

Le Triangle Rouge, États-Unis

Au nord de San Francisco, Bolinas Beach fait partie d’une bande côtière de 150 kilomètres appelée le “triangle rouge”, qui comprend également “Stinson Beach” et “Point Reyes”. Un nom donné à cette région pour sa forte concentration en requins blancs, l’une des plus importantes de la planète.

Copacabana, Brésil

photo plage copacabana
Derrière son image de plage idyllique où les femmes jouent au beach-volley en bikini, Copacabana a la mauvaise réputation d’attirer sur son sable tous les voleurs de Rio de Janeiro. Une plage où il ne fait pas bon laisser quelques minutes sans surveillance ses objets de valeur…

Gansbaai, Afrique du Sud

Située à 150 kilomètres de la ville du Cap, Gansbaai est une importante destination touristique d’Afrique du Sud. Appelée aussi “Shark Alley”, elle abrite l‘une des plus grandes populations de requins blancs au monde, dont certains peuvent mesurer jusqu’à 6 mètres de long.
