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.

One of Mexico's Best Kept Secrets

https://www.afar.com/places/zipolite-mexico-oaxaca?context=wanderlist&context_id=20492



One of Mexico's Best Kept Secrets
Mexico is home to so many diverse wonders - canyons, deserts, rainforest, cities and, of course, beaches. One of the country's most fabulous beaches is tiny Zipolite on the Oaxacan coast. But it's not your typical head- pounding, hard-drinking, over-visited playground.

Hard to reach (although now there are flights to nearby Puerto Escondido) and easy to miss as one drives along this stretch of coast, Zipolite, Mazunte and Puerto Angel seem to have somehow avoided the droves of tourists that tend to frequent so many of Mexico's beaches.

Lucky for us. Golden sand and pounding surf, Zipolite has just the right amount of food options and things to do. There's a yoga studio on the far east end and a nudist stretch to the far west. Accommodations are mainly hammocks right on the beach, but there are a couple of more upscale options as well.

And life is simple. The pace is slow, just as it should be, with no noisy toys - jet skis or motor boats. It's a place to just hang out, relax, soak in the the rays, as well as the abundant serenity.

Alaska announces new Mexico City flights

Daily round-trip service from three California cities starting in August

-
Alaska Airlines has received United States Department of Transport approval for new daily round-trip service to Mexico City from three cities in California.
Flights from Los Angeles and San Francisco are expected to begin August 8 while on November 6 service will begin from San Diego and a second Los Angeles flight will be added.
The flights await approval by Mexican authorities but the airline expects that to come soon and reservations are now being taken. The airline will use Boeing 737 and Embraer E175 aircraft for the routes.
Those routes were described as propitious for California tourism leaders today in a report by the San Diego Union-Tribune as an extra effort is being made to woo Mexican travelers in the face of strained relations between Mexico and the U.S. since President Donald Trump took office.
A delegation of California tourism representatives will travel to Mexico City next week to promote the state.
Alaska obtained new slots at the Mexico City airport as a result of the Aeroméxico-Delta Air Lines joint venture, which was approved on condition that they surrender slots.

Forecasters predict 27 hurricanes this year 16 expected on Pacific coast, 11 on Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico side

http://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/forecasters-predict-27-hurricanes-this-year/?utm_source=Mexico+News+Daily&utm_campaign=613f24e2a6-May+27&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f1536a3787-613f24e2a6-348153685

Forecasters predict 27 hurricanes this year

16 expected on Pacific coast, 11 on Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico side

Mexican weather forecasters predict that 27 hurricanes will affect Mexico during this year’s hurricane season, 16 in the eastern Pacific and 11 in the Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico.
President Enrique Peña Nieto, who was informed of the prediction by National Water Commission (Conagua) director Roberto Ramírez, said the government was ready to respond and protect the lives of Mexicans throughout the country in the face of the storms.
Of the 11 hurricanes predicted in the Atlantic Ocean, Ramírez indicated that five could directly hit Mexican territory, while weather forecaster AccuWeather is predicting that three of the 16 Pacific hurricanes will make landfall on the Mexican coast.
Ramírez also warned that hurricane intensity could increase significantly if the El Niño weather phenomenon returns earlier than usual during the fall. Two of the Atlantic hurricanes are forecast to be category 3 or greater.
The official United States forecast is for a 45% chance of an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season. The United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, predicts five to nine hurricanes, of which two to four will be major.
For the Pacific side it forecasts six to 11 hurricanes; three to seven will be major ones.
Hurricane season in the Atlantic begins June 1 and runs till November 30. In the eastern Pacific the season began May 15, and also runs till November 30.
In an announcement in Cancún, Quintana Roo, Peña Nieto stressed the need for Mexicans to build a more “resilient” society, saying that meant having infrastructure that was capable of resisting the force of natural disasters and ensuring that the country is adequately prepared to respond to any contingency.
“We can’t avoid the presence of natural phenomena but what we can do is minimize the damage to . . . families and the country’s economic and social infrastructure.”
The president stated that concrete measures have been undertaken to reduce response times to natural disasters and to ensure that basic services are restored to communities more quickly and for the first time, Mexico’s natural disaster response strategy, Plan Mx, will be centrally coordinated.
“The message is clear. We can’t live captive to the threat of nature but nor can we stop being cautious.”
