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.

September Mexico Updates🇲🇽 Laura Bronner via n.convertkit.com

 

Hola my Mexico-loving friends!

Welcome back to the monthly Mexico updates!

September is when I start thinking about when my next trip to Mexico is going to be. I have visited places like San Jose del Cabo and Mexico City in September, but there is always a risk of hurricanes along the coast still at this time of year (and earthquakes if you believe the hype - of which I have felt several myself in the month of September in Mexico!).

It's a good month to start planning some end-of-year or early New Year travels to the country if you haven't gotten around to it already. Don't wait much longer if you still want to snag a good hotel in some of the busier tourist spots!

Mexico Updates from Around the Web

  • ​Guadalajara had a huge storm over the weekend and is still working to clean up the mess that was left behind. Downed trees and power lines are two of the biggest issues that remain. More rain is on the way, so it may still be a while before things are back to normal.
  • A hurricane about 900 miles southwest of Baja is getting stronger, and although it appears to be heading further west, swells and dangerous rips are being reported along the coast there. Take extreme caution as always in the waters of Los Cabos, but especially right now.
  • These storms cause sudden surges in the water level and recently left people stranded on Lover's Beach, requiring rescue from lifeguards.
  • ​The Peso is at a high against the dollar at the moment, and it feels almost out of nowhere. While many economists thought we'd be heading into the high season at 21 Pesos to the Dollar, it's currently at 17 Pesos to the Dollar.
  • Mexican Independence Day is coming up this month. If you're in Los Cabos for the celebrations, check out this listing of all of the activities that will be taking place.
  • If you were in La Paz this summer experiencing the blackouts, you'll be glad to hear that the national electric company, CFE, is working to notify residents in advance so that you can better prepare for the outages.
  • Residents and visitors to Merida are also experiencing blackouts, with businesses forced to close in the downtown area, unable to process electronic payments. This is the third time this has happened in less than two months.

Visiting Mexico Soon?

If you are planning a trip to Mexico soon, I hope you'll have a browse through the different Mexico guides on my blog or have a search through my YouTube videos to help you plan your trip!

Many of you already know that the updated version of my Los Cabos guidebook came out in November 2024. If you haven’t already purchased it, you can buy a digital copy of it here or a paperback copy of it on Amazon here.

I also have an extensive guidebook available for Mexico City, which also receives regular updates. Anytime you buy a digital guidebook, you have access to lifetime updates completely free. So your guidebooks from me are never out of date!

These are our essential Mexico travel planning articles not to miss:

Speak soon and safe travels,
