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.

Puerto Rico’s best beaches for sun, sea and surf

By Sarah Palmer • Updated: 16/03/2021

As the roadmap to recovery becomes clearer, with the roll-out of vaccine passports and changing travel restrictions, the promise of a summer holiday is becoming more of a definite reality. Here, we explore why Puerto Rico is the perfect destination for a post-pandemic escape.

With nearly 300 beaches and 270 miles of Caribbean coastline to choose from, there is a retreat for every type of traveller. From active adventure and riding the waves, to relaxing at island inlets, Puerto Rico’s idyllic beaches are waiting for when we can travel again.

The award-winning beach: Flamenco Beach, Culebra

Flamenco Beach is one of the finest spots of sand in the Caribbean and has been heralded as the second most beautiful beach in the world, according to The Discovery Channel.

Consistently ranked as one of the world's best beaches, Flamenco Beach was recently named in the top 10 of Tripadvisor’s ‘best beaches in the Caribbean for 2021’, making the award-winning beach a dream destination for future travels.

Located on Culebra Island, just off the coast of Puerto Rico, the stretch of sand extends for almost two kilometres and is framed by majestic hills and tropical palm trees. Known for its crystal clear and calm turquoise waters, Flamenco Beach is a haven for snorkelling, swimming and sunbathing.

The best beach for black sand: Black Sand Beach, Vieques

Black Sand Beach is one of Puerto Rico’s rarest and most dramatic beaches, ideal for travellers looking to explore a hidden Caribbean gem.

Set against a rugged shoreline, Black Sand Beach is located on the south side of Vieques Island, an enchanting islet off the coast of mainland Puerto Rico. It is home to the world’s brightest bioluminescent bay, a pristine wildlife refuge and a plethora of secret seaside escapes.

The beach for surfers: Domes Beach, Rincón

On the northwest tip of Puerto Rico, Domes Beach is a year-round surfer’s paradise. Home to some of the best breaks on the island, the beach is a hotspot for various surf competitions, including the Corona Pro Surf.

Surrounded by lush vegetation, this beach is best known for whale watching during winter. Migrating humpback whales pass by Rincón from January to March and can be viewed from the historic Punta Higüero lighthouse - or from the surf, as the locals do.

The winter months are also where you’ll catch the biggest waves and this is the best spot from which to experience a spectacular sunrise surf.

The Instagram beach: Mar Chiquita, Manatí

Mar Chiquita is one of the most popular natural pools on the north coast of Puerto Rico. It is a picture perfect spot with glistening azure waters. Mar Chiquita translates to Little Sea, an apt description of the cove protected from the Atlantic sea by two limestone outcroppings that shelter the beautiful beach.

A firm favourite on the Island, food trucks serve beachgoers traditional Puerto Rican fritters and refreshing drinks on the weekends.
