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.ivan

San Agustinillo
Rounding the headland north of Zipolite you come to SAN AGUSTINILLO, another fine beach graced with good surfing waves. It has a more restrained vibe than Zipolite, with some charming places to stay and eat. The sand is backed by restaurants, which offer space for a hammock or small rooms for rent in addition to reasonably priced, fresh seafood. Sueno (Price: M$350-500) has six tasteful, breezy cabañas with private bath at the east end of the beach. Away from the beach in the centre of town, the Paraíso del Pescador (Price: M$350-500) offers more modern comforts, including a/c, hot water, fans and a restaurant. Cheaper options include Palapas Olas Altas, and Palapa Lupita, which have simple, rather scruffy, cabañas (Price: M$150-200) and hammocks, right next to the beach. Posada Dona Sol, across the street, has rooms with bath and fan (Price: M$150-200). The grand and slightly bizarre Posada San Agustinillo, set in impressive grounds at the east end of the village, looks as if it has had better days, but offers reasonable rooms looking out to sea, with balcony space (Price: M$200-250). Your best bet among the high-end accommodation is Rancho Cerro Largo ( 958/584-3063, ranchocerrolargomx@yahoo.com; Price: M$750-1100) – perched on the ridge between Zipolite (3km away) and San Agustinillo, it has spectacular views of the Pacific. The restaurant here is considered the best in the area, and the price of a double includes breakfast and dinner. Catch any Mazunte-bound camioneta from Zipolite to get here.
THE PACIFIC COAST OF OAXACA, MEXICO
The state of Oaxaca covers an area of 36,820 square miles with 370 miles of Pacific coastline. Most of the state is mountainous with rugged terrain right down to the coast. It has a large Indigenous population composed of numerous different groups including Mixtec, Náhuatl, and Zapotec. Oaxaca is known for its black pottery, unique carved wood figures, coffee, cuisine, and is the source of the first chocolate brought to Europe. Oaxaca is the second poorest state in Mexico, next to its neighbor, Chiapas, yet it is rich in tradition, cuisine, culture, and natural beauty. | The coast of Oaxaca is at a latitude of 16°, placing it well into the tropical zone. There is little seasonal variation in temperature; it's almost always hot. The rainy season runs from May to October. This doesn't mean it will be raining all the time, just that it CAN rain. Thunder is often heard in the nearby mountains where there is considerably more rainfall. The first rains turn the brown dry-season forest to green. Rainy season is also hurricane season so keep an eye on the weather. For some interesting aerial photos of the State, see Tom's Flight to Huatulco. |

I passed by the station in Puerto and the SUR bus is supposed to run every hour (I think it starts at 6:00 am) but the last hour, 7:00 pm actually leaves at 7:20 pm. That is from Puerto to Huatulco. The lady at the counter said it was the same for leaving from Huatulco to Puerto. So it takes (probably a little more than) 20 minutes from Huatulco to the airport so the bus probably passes the airport at between 20 - 30 minutes (Maybe 40 minutes but I would not plan for 40 minutes) after the hour.
The walk to the highway is a 5 minute walk. A little longer if you take it slow. There is a tienda across the street from where you wait for the bus where you can buy something to drink while you wait. There is a nice big shade tree to stand under. There will probably be a taxi or two trying to get your business. At least one of the taxi drivers, Mario who lives behind the Pemex gas station across the road, is very nice. He costs (about) $500 pesos to take you to Puerto. The taxi holds no more than three people comfortably. Really only two people comfortably if you stop and get a case of beer for the ride and he will pull over so you can pee.
I don't know how much the airport taxis cost but I guess about $1200 pesos unless they are willing to negotiate. Those airport taxis hold about 6 people or four people comfortably. I don't know if they will stop for beer along the way or not.

Thanks Puerto Bill. You have answered some of my unasked questions. I have flown into Huatulco before but always had arranged for someone to pick me up from Puerto. I couldn't visualize the road that led from the airport to the Hiway. I have two suitcases to pull and will be arriving in the heat of the day. Does the bus have a place underneath to store luggage? One of my bags will be quite heavy.

Yes they do have a place to store your luggage underneath. Make sure you really let the bus know that you want it to pull over to pick you up. Be obvious or the diver might just drive by. Not likely but it could happen.
