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.

A  BEACH UNLIKE ANY OTHER:

Freedom. A term that means many things to many people. How close can YOU get to that feeling? 
If being able to be naked on the entire beach (only one hotel exception we've found so far) is a 
piece of your dream freedom, and you are looking for it in Mexico, this is the ONLY place 
you'll find that. And, if smoking cannabis being OK in all establishments (again, with ONE 
exception...) is a part of your freedom dream, then again, this is the only place where that 
is a reality, in the entire Mexican country. I've never found anything like it in the U.S. nor in Europe.
My partner and I aren't nudists ("People who engage in the the practice of being naked 
wherever possible"). We do, however, believe in wearing or not wearing whatever we want 
is essential to OUR definition of freedom. The option of total nudity allows for less sexism 
and body shaming. Less oppression ...  more freedom! :) 

Still here? So, it looks like you may be interested in this 1-mile long beach filled with
 hippies, Mexicans on vacation, some ex - pats, and tons of Europeans taking their holidays 
in this exceptional part of the world. Stick around. We'll tell you more.

Pochutla.— Of all the beach destinations in the Oaxaca Coast region, Mazunte, located in Santa María Tonameca, is the only one with a police presence, this at the request of the municipal authority, so the few bathers observe walking by the small beach to the elements of the state police loading their rifles.

The uniformed men are attentive to disturbances, to verify that safe distance measures are followed and to react to an incident at sea, which translates into confidence for visitors, who do not exceed 40% of influx.

Mazunte, like the rest of the beaches, has an alert flag due to the strong waves that have reached up to four meters in height, which puts people's safety at risk. Perhaps because of this situation, few visitors have come to this beach recognized by the Mexican Turtle Center and its work.

For this reason and because long before the coronavirus health crisis arrived, there were already official limitations in Mazunte.

It seeks to lessen the effects of tourism on the local population, something that has now become a necessity, due to the risk that coronavirus infections will spill over in the Oaxacan town.

The other face

In Zipolite, on the contrary, the police are not present neither to monitor nor to assist tourists. This beach is the only one where tourism is officially allowed. There is only one group of three volunteer lifeguards, led by El Tijuana, a young surfer who came to his best friend's wedding on the beach three years ago and has stayed in the area ever since.

But El Tijuana and El Pochu, another of the lifeguards, carry out this work out of vocation: they do not receive support for what they do, neither money nor food. They only support themselves with the rental of surfboards.

Tijuana affirms that until before the pandemic, each year the presence of tourists was increasing in this nudist destination.

"It is fashionable," he assures, but that is not why they are officially named as a rescue group. On the contrary, they are the ones who manage to support themselves, to the extent that the equipment they own was given to them by altruistic people.

The increase in people has also led to more accidents being recorded at this site, formerly known as La playa de los muertos.

So far this Easter there have been two drowning episodes, one died, an American, the other they managed to save. Another person died in January, after Zipolite had had a white balance for two years.

Although here the visitors do not exceed 40% of influx, the few people who occupy the beach insist on challenging the raging waves, despite the warnings of the authorities.

Califica Cofepris a playas oaxaqueñas como aptas para vacacionar; dos presentaron contaminación

Estos son los resultados del análisis con agua de mar de 265 playas en 70 destinos turísticos de los 17 estados costeros.


Oaxaca de Juárez.— La Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios (Cofepris) informó que en víspera del periodo vacacional de Semana Santa se realizaron análisis de laboratorio realizados con agua de mar de 265 playas en 70 destinos turísticos de los 17 estados costeros; entre los resultados, aunque todas las playas oaxaqueñas resultaron aptas para recibir visitantes, dos arrojaron índices de contaminación.

De acuerdo con el reporte, el 98.11 % de las playas analizadas pueden ser clasificadas como aptas, ya que cumplen con los niveles de seguridad de enterococos establecidos por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS).

De las que se analizaron en Oaxaca, que fueron un total de 15 playas, en Puerto Escondido el índice de contaminación fue de 20, mientras que en Puerto Angelito la contaminación fue de 41.

En Huatulco, la Playa Maguey y Bahía de Santa Cruz, registraron 14 y 13, respectivamente.

Por otro lado, La EntregaPlaya Panteón Zipolite arrojaron un índice de 10, considerado como el nivel mínimo de contaminación.

Mientras que las Playas Los Muertos y Cuale de Puerto Vallarta Jalisco, y las playas Rosarito, en Rosarito, Tijuana y Hermosa en Ensenada Baja California, rebasaron los límites establecidos de 200 NPM/100 mL de Enterococos, por lo cual dan lugar a considerarlas como Playas No Aptas para uso recreativo.

Uno de los puntos (Tumbao II) de la Playa Tumbao en Veracruz, no cuenta con resultados disponibles dado que se presentaron problemas técnicos de erosión en la playa que impidieron el muestreo; el mismo caso se dio en las playas San Lorenzo y playa Bonita en Campeche.

En tanto, playa Sombreron y playa Payucan en Champoton; playa Isla Arena en Kalkini y playa Puerto Real en Cd. del Carmen, no cuentan con resultados dado que se presentaron problemas técnicos para el muestreo.
