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.

Zipolite, Oaxaca.

A ceremonial center that became a nude beach.

Playa Zipolite is a Mexican town belonging to the municipality of San Pedro Pochutla, in the state of Oaxaca.

Located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, 3 kilometers from Puerto Ángel and 230 kilometers from Oaxaca de Juárez.

There are many versions of the origin of its name, however, the strongest is that they say that the Zapotecs buried their dead here.

They were brought from hundreds of miles away.

It is also considered the "place of the snails".

This place was considered as a ceremonial center of the same culture.

Thousands of turtles came to these beaches to lay their young.

This was interpreted by the ancient apotheques as the beginning and constant renewal of life.  

After the conquest, Zipolite was deserted while, in its neighboring town, Puerto Ángel, it became a port where goods arrived in smaller boats.

At the beginning of the 20th century, families settled in Zipolite and it began to populate exponentially.

This, because visitors from nearby areas gathered to observe the total solar eclipse.

The people who had attended to see this natural phenomenon were mostly “hippies”.

This is how they started swimming and sunbathing without clothes, thanks to their motto "love and peace" and to the rhythm of rock and roll.

It was then that the first Mexican nudist beach was inaugurated.

Currently this beach is known internationally because it is a legal and safe nudist beach.

Throughout the year it is possible to participate in nudist events and also activities such as walks, yoga, etc.

Finally, Zipolite becomes an open sea beach where walking naked is its best tourist attraction.
