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.

Authorities in Santa María Tonameca , Oaxaca , warned about the movement of crocodiles towards beaches such as Mazunte , San Agustinillo , Arroyo Tres , Zipolite and more.

The incident is due to the increase in water levels in Laguna Ventanilla , which is why lifeguards have asked the population and tourists to be alert.

"If you see a crocodile outside its habitat, it is recommended that citizens do not approach it, feed it, or hit it. It is best to keep the appropriate distance and make a report immediately," authorities said.

They stressed that it is important to respect wildlife because these animals have been swept away by the currents of the lagoon and the sea.

They also reiterated that the best way to prevent accidents is to stay away from crocodiles and report them as soon as possible.

Oaxaca Unveil the Secrets of Southern Mexico’s Cultural Paradise




Oaxaca City, also known as Oaxaca de Juárez, is a captivating destination located in southern Mexico, renowned for its vibrant culture, rich history, and mouthwatering cuisine. The city’s stunning colonial architecture, bustling markets filled with local crafts and fresh produce, and lively festivals offer an immersive experience that celebrates traditional Mexican culture.

Oaxaca is also a haven for art lovers, offering a wealth of handcrafted treasures, from the region’s signature ceramics to hand-woven area rugs and smoky bottles of mezcal. During a visit to Oaxaca, it’s nearly impossible not to be drawn into its creative spirit. Whether browsing the studios and boutiques of Jalatlaco and Xochimilco or exploring the nearby villages of Teotitlán del Valle, known for cochineal-dyed rugs, and San Bartolo Coyotepec, famous for black pottery, you’re sure to encounter beautiful and unique items.

As the sun sets over the city, Oaxaca’s energy shifts to its rooftop bars and mezcalerías, offering a perfect way to unwind. After a full day of exploring, the city offers a variety of accommodations that reflect the region’s unique blend of hospitality, culture, and architecture.

One standout accommodation is Grana B&B, located on a bustling square on Oaxaca’s west side. Housed in a converted 18th-century mansion, this property offers a serene retreat with just 14 rooms. Guests can enjoy breakfast in the plant-filled courtyard, relax in ceramic Japanese soaking tubs, and take in sunset views from the rooftop terrace.

For a more immersive experience, Casa Silencio is a six-suite hotel located just outside the city. Housed within a working distillery, this property offers spacious suites adorned with locally produced textiles and art. Guests can sample exclusive vintage mezcal while learning about the distillery’s daily operations.

Those looking for a central yet tranquil stay might consider Quinta Real Oaxaca. Set in a beautifully preserved 16th-century convent, this historic property offers a serene escape within the city’s vibrant heart. Guests can dine al fresco, relax in cloistered courtyards, and experience modern luxury blended with colonial charm.

For a more modern experience, Casa Antonieta offers minimalist accommodations in a historic setting. The hotel’s on-site café attracts both locals and travelers, and the thoughtfully designed rooms provide a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.

El Callejón Hotel Boutique offers a contemporary design that blends traditional Oaxacan elements with sleek aesthetics. Located in the charming neighborhood of Jalatlaco, this boutique hotel features spacious suites, private outdoor patios, and lush communal gardens, creating a tranquil escape near the city’s top attractions.

For a quirky stay, Pug Seal Oaxaca provides a vibrant atmosphere in a restored colonial mansion. The hotel’s playful design includes colorful murals, chair swings, and a light-filled courtyard. Though the hotel lacks its own restaurant, breakfast is included, and Oaxaca’s best dining options are just steps away.

Lastly, the Grupo Habita property is a true architectural gem. Designed by the renowned architect Alberto Kalach, this boutique hotel seamlessly combines colonial charm with contemporary style. Guests can enjoy a library, rooftop pool, and spacious rooms that showcase local artisan furnishings.

Oaxaca’s rich cultural scene, historical charm, and diverse accommodation options make it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a unique and unforgettable experience. Whether you’re exploring its bustling markets, indulging in its vibrant art scene, or simply relaxing in its beautiful hotels, Oaxaca promises a journey full of discovery and wonder.
