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.

Today we discover another beach located on the edge of the village of Puerto Ángels, about 15 minutes by car from Zipolite:

Nous découvrons aujourd’hui une autre plage située à la limite du village de Puerto Ángels, environ à 15 minutes en voiture de Zipolite:
PLAYA LA MINA
Cette petite plage sauvage et déserte est accessible après avoir emprunté un petit chemin de terre escarpé accessible seulement à pied.
Des rangées d’énormes palmiers offrent un paysage paradisiaque en plus de fournir de l’ombre rafraîchissante et d’énormes rochers donnent à cette plage un aspect unique.
Une statue de la Vierge de Guadalupe, qui serait apparue selon la tradition à un indigène mexicain en 1531, protege entre autres les pêcheurs et les nageurs et réunie les différentes nations.

MINA BEACH
This wild and desert little beach is accessible after borrowing a small steep dirt path only on foot.
Rows of huge palm trees offer a heavenly landscape in addition to providing refreshing shade and huge rocks give this beach a unique look.
A statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which would have appeared according to tradition to a Mexican native in 1531, protects among other things fishermen and swimmers and brings the different nations together.

OTTAWA News Ontario's 'Island Dave' dies in Mexico hospital

https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ontario-s-island-dave-dies-in-mexico-hospital-1.5847481








Published April 4, 2022 9:59 a.m. PDT

Dave Beatty, a Brockville, Ont. man known as ‘Island Dave,’ has died after fighting for his life in a Mexico hospital, friends said Monday.

Beatty, 71, died peacefully Sunday afternoon with friends by his side, they said in a news release.

“Our friend is now in his final resting place, a place he chose,” friend Peter Amo said in the release. “He will be long remembered by many as a great guy who made a difference with his humanitarian efforts.”

Beatty was a retired City of Brockville employee who worked as a revenue collector every summer for the islands, hence his nickname.

RELATED STORIES

Beatty was found unconscious on March 18 on a dark stretch of road outside the village where he was staying. His passport, travel documents and $90 were on his person. Friends believe he was possibly the victim of a hit-and-run.

Beatty suffered six fractured ribs and a punctured lung. On March 25, he suffered a heart attack while in hospital.

Friends said he showed some signs of recovery on Friday.

“He woke and recognized his friends and while unable to talk, could respond to things like open your eyes, move your left foot,” the news release said.

However, his heart could not sustain the pressure being put on it. He was on a ventilator until Thursday, then breathed through an oxygen mask until his death Sunday afternoon. He had undergone three blood transfusions.

Friends say Beatty will be buried alongside his closest friend Mark in Zipolite, a village in Mexico where they shared many years together.

A GoFundMe that friends started remains active, and will be put toward outstanding expenses, friends said.

Funeral arrangements in Mexico are underway.
