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.

The Penthouse is a private residence on the top floor of the Bungalows
Oasis Hotel on Calle Bugambilia. It overlooks Zicatela Beach on the famous Mexican Pipeline, one of the top ten surfing beaches in the world. Considered to be the best Penthouse view in all of Puerto Escondido, it offers a sweeping 360 degree view of Puerto and the ocean, downtown and the three bays, and from the lighthouse at El Faro in the west to the lighthouse at La Punta in the east. It overlooks lush grounds including a central garden with many varieties of palm and flowering plants.
The Penthouse is entered through a completely mirrored foyer. It
opens into an expansive living/dining area with glass walls on three sides and an unobstructed view of the ocean, town, and forests. The dining/living area offers a new sectional black leather couch, hammocks, a dining room table, computer desk, DVD and flat screen TV.
The kitchen is state-of-the-art with a stainless steel oven and full

coffee maker, and blender. Included are all cooking utensils,

Just outside the glass doors facing the ocean is the palapa-covered veranda with separate dining, barbecue and lounging areas. The focal point of the veranda is a massive, hand-carved Parota wood dining table with matching chairs and seating for six. The palapa cover above allows tenants to choose between the glorious sun and the cool shade as they enjoy a sweeping view of Zicatela Beach. During the day there is a constant on-shore wind rising up from the ocean, bringing cooling breezes and the smell of the surf. At night you can see both lighthouses, El Faro and La Punta, signaling the ships at sea. The veranda offers an excellent view of migrating whales, jumping manta rays, dolphins and fishing vessels, as well as surfers catching waves from dawn to dusk.

At the opposite end of the Penthouse are three bedrooms and a fully mirrored bathroom with a huge walk-in shower. Each of the bedrooms has screens, fans, and air conditioning, as well as a flat screen TV.
The largest corner bedroom has a king size bed and dresser and a view of the beach. Both of the other bedrooms have double beds and modern, custom-built closets and desk/dresser combinations. Each bedroom is decorated in a unique Mexican motif using local textiles and pottery.
The Penthouse is located just three blocks from a pristine beach with some of the best surfing in the world. It is also only six blocks
from a thriving beach community that stretches along Playa Zicatela.
Here you will find businesses that include restaurants, shops, and
clubs, offering everything from International cuisine to world famous carved Oaxacan art.
Complimentary maid service is provided once a week. Guests can arrange for additional services, such as cooking and shopping services, at a minimal cost. For your safety and peace of mind the Penthouse property is part of a locked, walled compound with an on-site manager and security guard. Off-street parking is available, as well as secure storage for our return guests.
On-site staff can offer surf lessons, exercise training, and taxi
service to and from the airport. The local turtle museum, iguanario, evening turtle releases, bird watching at Laguna Seca and surfing at Chacaua are just a few of the unique sightseeing opportunities that the area provides.

Video: Duffy Wins Triathlon World Cup In Mexico

May 6, 2012 · 9 Comments 
[Updated with video] Bermuda’s Flora Duffy moved one step closer to her Olympic dreams after she picked up a major international victory today [May 6], winning the 2012 Huatulco ITU Triathlon World Cup in Mexico.
She crossed the line in 2:13:17 to claim victory, with Pamela Oliveira from Brazil in second, Mexico’s Claudia Rivas in third, Russia’s Alexandra Razarenova in fourth, and Line Jensen from Denmark rounding out the top five women.
“I’m starting to tear up I’m so happy,” Ms Duffy said. “It’s been a long road to get here. Today was a hard race and a hard course, but I think that’s what I needed to make me focus and really push. It totally played to my strengths today.”
Bermuda had a strong showing overall, with Tyler Butterfield also in the field claiming a solid 4th place finish in a time of 2:03:04. Simon De Cuyper from Belgium won the event, Ryan Sissons from New Zealand was second, Danylo Sapunov from the Ukraine was third, and Columbia’s Carlos Javier Quinchara Forero placed fifth.
Ms Duffy tweeted a link to this photo, saying: “I won my first world cup today. Can you tell I’m a bit excited! Classic air punch.” Mr Butterfield was one the first to congratulate Ms Duffy on the micro blogging network, noting on Twitter that he believed today’s victory is one of many wins to come for her.

Triathlon: Sissons survives heat in Mexico

Ryan Sissons took out the silver at Huatulco ITU Triathlon World Cup in Mexico.
Ryan Sissons took out the silver at Huatulco ITU Triathlon World Cup in Mexico.
Ryan Sissons has survived blistering heat to take the silver medal at the Huatulco ITU Triathlon World Cup in Mexico.
Sissons, the lone Kiwi representative at the event, struggled on the swim with an official water temperature of 28.6 degrees celsius and entered transition near the back of the pack.
With the air temperature around 30degC, Sissons battled back on the bike and managed to bridge the gap and join the lead bunch.
He then played the run perfectly, keeping calm before making his move late to power through the field and finish in second place.
Sissons had the second fastest run split of the day, with only race winner Simon De Cuyper of Belgium marginally quicker on his feet.
The 23-year-old, who has a conditional third spot in the New Zealand Olympic team, was happy with his podium placing in Huatulco.
"I knew it was going to be about survival in the heat and the last 5km of the run was going to be critical," Sissons said.
"I spoke to Kris Gemmell who had done this race a few years ago and he just said be patient and wait.
That's pretty much what I did and it worked out.
"I didn't have a great swim but was patient on the bike and we got up to the front pack at the end. I was patient again on the first half of the run and then made my move with two and a half [km] to go on the run and made it stick.
"The legs were hurting on the run, there's no doubt, but there were a lot of guys hurting a lot more than me."
Sissons' silver medal is even more important in that it provides crucial ranking points. With only the top eight nations allocated a third representative for the Olympic Games, New Zealand needs to remain inside the top eight for Sissons to compete in London.
"In Sydney I didn't score any points because I had that crash and was really disappointed.
"Having a great race here was fantastic, and now I move on to San Diego next weekend where I can hopefully make that third Olympic spot a bit safer with another good result."
