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.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Celia is expected to bring heavy rain to El Salvador, Guatemala and southern Mexico through Sunday and could lead to flooding and landslides, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Friday.


Celia, formed on Friday, is a small storm and is expected to move westward away from the Pacific coast, the center predicted. Still, northward locomotion or an increase in size could prompt a warning against tropical storms in the region.


The storm is slowly moving north-northeast and was generating winds at a maximum speed of 65 km/h early Friday morning, the center said.


Authorities in El Salvador issued a "red alert" off the country's coast.


Mexico's National Water Commission said the storm is expected to cause rain in the states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, Tabasco, Campeche, Puebla, Quintana Roo, Veracruz and Yucatán.


Celia comes as the Category 1 hurricane Blas moves toward the Pacific, threatening to flood western states such as Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit, Guerrero, Michoacán and Baja California, the water commission said.

On May 17, Martínez Santoyo, general director of the National Water Commission (Conagua), remarked that although rains and cyclones can cause damage, they also make life possible because we allow water to be captured to minimize the effects of droughtas well as for human consumption and agricultural and industrial activities.

“It is in the rainy season, when the arid or semi-arid zones have the opportunity to recharge the level of their dams and their aquifers, as well as to favor the development of rainfed crops”
