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.

Kate ... How bad was it??


    Compañeros Buen Día... unos amigos van a ir mañana al istmo a ayudar y llevar víveres, están recolectando, les hace más falta agua embotellada, comida para bebe, ropa para bebe, y adultos, pañales, etc.
    hoy van a pasar al nude a recogerlo, si alguien tiene la buena voluntad de ayudar se los vamos a agradecer.
    Pueden pasar a dejarlo al nude hoy en el transcurso del día y hasta las 8 de la noche.
    Solo en especie, no se acepta afectivo para evitar malos entendimientos.

    Friends good day... some friends are going tomorrow to the isthmus to help and bring food, they are collecting, they need more bottled water, baby food, baby clothes, and adults, diapers, etc.
    Today they are going to go to the nude to pick it up, if anyone has the good will to help we will thank them.
    You can stop by the nude today in the course of the day and until 8 o'clock.
    Only in kind, do you not accept affection to avoid misunderstandings.

    I think if something had happened to us a few days ago, someone else would be doing this work for us.

    Hi friends, some people will be taking emergency supplies to Juchitan departing from NUDE BUNGALOWS TODAY AT 8 PM. No vash accepted only supplies: bottled water , baby food and clothing, diapers and adult clothing. I will be taking some things over to Nude at 7 pm if you wish to send anything with me.
    If anyone is going to Bodega today please let me know!

Tropical triple threat: Hurricane Katia strikes Mexico and Jose looms as Irma threatens Florida

Tropical triple threat: Hurricane Katia strikes Mexico and Jose looms as Irma threatens Florida

Jason Samenow and Brian McNoldyWashington Post
Hurricane Irma is not the only show in town. Two other dangerous and strengthening hurricanes, Jose and Katia, are swirling in the Atlantic Ocean basin.
Jose, following a similar path to Irma in the eastern Atlantic, has grown into an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane with 150 mph winds. On Saturday, it could strike or at least brush some of the same islands in the northern Lesser Antilles decimated by Irma on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Taking Irma and Jose together, this is the first time on record two storms in the tropical Atlantic Ocean have attained 150 mph winds at the same time.
Meanwhile, the peak winds of Hurricane Katia, centered over the southwest Gulf of Mexico, had reached 100 mph. It made landfall north of Tecolutla, Mexico, as a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 75 mph on Friday night.
“Atlantic currently has 3 Cat. 2+ hurricanes at same time — 2nd time on record this has occurred & first time since 1893,” tweeted Phil Klotzbach, hurricane expert from Colorado State University.
Hurricane Jose
Jose has exceeded all expectations by explosively intensifying into a Category 4 storm — the third straight hurricane in 2017 to do so, following Harvey and Irma. This is the first time on record three straight storms have attained Category 4 or higher status, according to Klotzbach.
A hurricane watch was issued for Antigua, Barbuda, Aguilla, St. Martin and St. Barthelemy — many of the same islands devastated by Irma on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
If the storm tracks over these beleaguered islands, they could face destructive winds for the second time in four days and up to eight inches of rainfall.
The exact track of Jose is still somewhat in question, and there is a chance it could escape to the east of the already battered islands. But it’s too close to call.
After the storm passes the northern Leeward Islands, it will no longer be a threat to land areas, curling away from the United States, forecasters predict.
Hurricane Katia
Just as Jose was upgraded to a hurricane Wednesday afternoon, so was Katia. This system formed in the western Gulf of Mexico from a lingering disturbance earlier this week.
Katia made landfall north of Tecolutla, Mexico, as a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 75 mph late Friday.
A hurricane warning was out from Cabo Rojo to Laguna Verde. While a 5- to 7-foot storm surge and damaging winds are likely close to where this hurricane makes landfall, torrential rains will affect a much larger area.
“Katia is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 10 to 15 inches over northern Veracruz, eastern Hidalgo, and Puebla,” the Hurricane Center said. “Isolated maximum amounts of 25 inches are possible in northern Veracruz, eastern Hidalgo, Puebla, and San Luis Potosi. This rainfall will likely cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of mountainous terrain.”
Three hurricanes at the same time is highly unusual
Incredibly, all three of the active hurricanes in the Atlantic basin could affect land at the same time on Saturday: Irma over the Bahamas (and approaching Florida), Jose over the northeastern Leewards, and Katia in Mexico.
It is quite rare to have three simultaneous hurricanes. The last time this occurred was in 2010 with Hurricanes Igor, Julia and Karl. In an unlikely coincidence, these storms are almost in the same order and position as Irma, Jose and Katia, and have the same first three letters (I, J, K).
