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 Angel, a Mexican paradise surrounded by rocky hills

Puerto Angel is a small coastal town in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, which together with San Agustinilo and Playa Zipolite make the famous “Riviera Oaxaquena.” Despite the strong development of tourism that began in šezedesetim of the last century, the city is still known as a fishing village, located in a small bay surrounded by rocky hills that lead into the Sierra Madre del Sur. As you drive into Puerto Angel, the first beach you will see is Playa Principal. In the mornings, much activity is centered around the pier where fishing boats are arriving with their catch. Tuna is probably the most common (Try a real tuna fish salad at one of the restaurants.), Include red snapper, shark, bonito, sailfish, lobster, conch, octopus, and many others. Tuna and lobster will not be as plentiful when the water temperature is higher.

When viewed from the tourist side, then Puerto Angel right place for those who want to discover a little exotic world. Specifically we recommend Zipolite. It is a classic and rustic village close to Puerto Angel with beautiful and long beaches. The old concrete pier, Which really sits too high above the waterline to be of much use for unloading the boats, was built before there were paved roads in the area for the purpose of shipping coffee. The pier was refurbished in 1999 There are several restaurants along the beach and a small naval installation.

At the west end of the beach and the paved walkway curves along the rock cliffs connecting to Playa Pantheon, named for the cemetery located nearby. More restaurants here. Both beaches are suitable for swimming but Playa Panteón is perhaps a little more sheltered and offers better snorkelling around the rocks. The water was quite warm, but despite that swimmers should be careful. In the village there are many shops that their interesting articles attract large numbers of tourists. A large part of the restaurant located next to the beach, where you can feel the lightness and above all, relaxed people who surround you.

As to the location and if you’re on a budget then we recommend a cheap hotel Shambala with incredible views of the beach this really interesting places. Next to the hotel there are a series of bungalows for rent, which have recently become quite popular, so we must hurry up with reservations. Here we recommend “El Aquemistu” with a beautiful restaurant in the northwestern part of town. Four miles west of town is Playa Zipolite, known for its surfing and popular with European tourists. This is a 1-mile long straight beach directly on the ocean with numerous restaurants or watering holes.

For those who do not want to miss an opportunity, there is organized the famous fishing on sharks. So not only do you have the opportunity to see these creatures up close, but you have the opportunity to spend some time with the local people who will give you a little better explain how it is to live in this part of the world and thus they all have fun. The undertow at this beach is dangerous as evidenced by regular drownings. There are sometimes offered bathers here although the local officials occasionally discourage it. There have been reports of armed robberies in Zipolite and on the road between Puerto Angel and Zipolite.

We can say to you in Puerto Angel get a chance to get to know firsthand the lifestyle of the local people and in a fun and above all interesting way. We should however bear in mind that this is a totally different civilization, we are almost completely foreign.
