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.

Japanese fishnap Mexican fishies!


Japanese fishnap Mexican fishies!

As if Japan needs more fish!
Japan has a reputation for being excessively aggressive in their international fishing activities. I had no idea Mexico was a victim.
During my new years trip to Mazunte, Oaxaca, a group of friends bravely woke up early in the morning to adjourn on a 3-hour boat trip to check out sea turtles, dolphins, and per chance whales. My friend Kevin shared with me a disturbing story told by his elderly sea captain, let’s call him Juan.
Juan is a 60-something year old tour guide and fisher. According to Juan, large Japanese ships have been fishing the Mexican Pacific coast’s bluefin tuna in recent years, setting up large nets overnight and bringing in tons of fish. Juan’s also an activist and has attempted on several occasions to dismantle these nets in the middle of the night, only to be attacked by Japanese tranquilizers.
I was shocked by this story. Granted, this is no proper investigative journalistic piece, but this is just a small taste and a very human recount of what is really happening in Oaxaca’s waters that I wanted to share. Not only is the global fish supply quickly depleting, but many poor fishermen in Mexico’s Pacific Coast are found helpless and enraged.
What’s going to be done about it?
Japanese fishing ship...they're huge!

November Video: Tolo habla de Jaime/Tolo talks about Jaime



Tolo, a resident of Zipolite, member of the wheelchair basketball team and ex-patient at Piña Palmera, talks about his friend, Jaime. Tolo explains what most people that knew Jaime (before he died of stomach cancer) took for granted about him: despite his polio, he was exceptionally strong and a fantastic lifeguard.
Tolo, poblador de Zipolite, miembro del equipo de basketbol en sillas de ruedas, y ex-usuario de Piña Palmera, habla de su amigo, Jaime. Tolo explica lo que la majoria de la gente que conocieron a Jaime (antes de que se murió de cancer en su estomago) dieron por sentado: que, a pesar de su polio, Jaime era muy fuerte y un salvavida excepcional.
