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.

Ah, okay, have been filled in on the Temple joking - 
haven't been residing in these parts long enough and 
this has proved way too transient a place for marlin 
captains for any of that history to linger here.

Antonio, here it is. The skirt seems to work better cut down an inch so the overall length is 10". From what I understand, it's essentially the Black Bart Mini 1656, and since Gerry Bost used to manufacture lures for Bart, he kept making more or less the same lures under his own names. Folks have had little luck in Huatulco with anything over 12" - my largest marlin I lost hit a Moldcraft Wide Range Standard about 8.5" - and my tendency has been to keep everything in the 9-11" range. Seems to be a small bait fishery in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. We have way more coldwater nutrient upwellings in tropical waters than anywhere else on the Pacific Coast, due to the regular Tehuantepec gales coming out of the Isthmus, and it really seems to make the feeding behavior a bit different than other places.

Huatulco Tour: Sea Turtle Nesting Witness An Amazing Spectacle In Huatulco As Thousands Of Baby Sea Turtles Make Their Way To The Ocean


Witness An Amazing Spectacle In Huatulco As Thousands Of Baby Sea Turtles Make Their Way To The Ocean

Sea Turtles Huatulco | In HandEvery year, thousands of sea turtles make their way to shore along the pacific coast of Mexico to nest. In the months that follow, thousands upon thousands of baby sea turtles make their way back to the ocean.
Every once in a while a person comes across an event almost too incredible to describe, and this phenomenon – known as arribadas – is one of them!

When

Nesting periods for sea turtles can be rather unpredictable and are thought to depend heavily on both the moon and tide conditions. With that being said, nesting has historically taken place around June and continues for several months.
Sea Turtles Huatulco | HatchingDuring this time, thousands of sea turtles travel ashore and proceed to dig a hole approximately 2 feet in depth. This hole will become the temporary home to anywhere from 50 to 200 ping-pong ball sized turtle eggs. These slimy spheres will stay buried for approximately 2 months before the turtles hatch and begin to dig themselves out.
It’s at this point that the true work occurs. These tiny creatures make the daunting trek across the beach and to the ocean. Years of evolution has gotten this process down to a science.
The turtles emerge after the sun has set and follow the light cast by the moon back to the water. This strategy diminishes the risk of turtles being eaten by predators.
Sea Turtles Huatulco | BeachUnfortunately, not all sea turtles make it to the ocean; many who remain on shore by daylight are either eaten or die of sun exposure.
Luckily, sea turtles along the pacific coast of Mexico are given an advantage with the help of human intervention. During nesting season many initiatives take place, including setting up nets to protect the vulnerable turtle eggs. In addition, many of the beaches are guarded by government officials during nesting months to prevent poaching, a still huge problem in Huatulco (and in general).
With local and governmental assistance, many of these turtles get a second chance a life.

Where

Sea Turtles Huatulco | Net ProtectionAs mentioned, this spectacle occurs on beaches all along the pacific coast of Mexico.
Sites such as Puerto Escondido and Mazunte are among the most populated beaches when it comes to nesting. As a result these two locations have become large players in the fight to protect the sea turtles.
On that note, if you find yourself in Mazunte be sure to check out the local Sea Turtle Museum. Here you will find a wide array of turtles both native to the area and otherwise.
This self-guided Huatulco tour requires a lot of planning and a little luck, but if you’re successful this will be one of the coolest experiences of your life!

World Environment Day in Oaxaca

WED WIKI

Publication date: May 2012





FLICKR ALBUMCue Yourself

Oaxaca de Juarez, Mexico - Planeta.com invites friends to put themselves into the picture for World Environment Day. Join us on June 3 for a photo safari in the Llano Park. A photo safari is a free, public event in which people are invited to take photos in a public space and sharing pics online using relevant social media including Facebook, Flickr, Foursquare, Google+, Slideshare, Twitter, YouTube and wikis as a means to encourage transliteracy: the ability to read and write using multiple media, including traditional print media, electronic devices, and online tools.
The safari combines a slow-paced walk from the lions in the park to recently made carvings nearby. The safari is conducted in aplurilingual manner with an emphasis on Spanish and local indigenous languages.
"The highlight of the trip will be our search for the bear carving on Calle Amapolas" said Planeta.com founder Ron Mader. "We will also look for the borrego cimarron and a frog. Baseball fans should be on the lookout for pericos in the stadium when Oaxaca plays Puebla."
Participants will be asked to upload photos to Facebook and Flickr. Friends of the photo safari are asked to like, favorite, pin and tweet about these images.
"Social bridging is essential to building strong, safe, diverse communities," Mader said, citing Nina Simon's recent blog, Building Community Bridges: A "So What" Behind Social Participation.
Among the talking points for informal conversation: the green economy and the 40th anniversary of UNEP, environmental education, wildlife and how World Environment Day is being celebrated around the globe. It will also be an opportunity to discuss upcoming events including July's Guelaguetza, August's Indigenous Peoples Week and a proposed unconference focusing on local, slow and conscious travel in September.
Meeting point, 11am on the northeast side of Llano Park at the Hector's news' stand. Ask Hector about the trees in front of the stand.
Tips: Bring your camera or smartphone, extra batteries, drinking water, comfortable shoes and a hat. Kids and the elderly are welcome and this event is free.

About the Author

We are Thomas and Rebecca and live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. We always had a dream to one day escape the dreary wet winters of west coast Canada and find a little spot in paradise to vacation and retire. After many travels and months of searching the internet we found Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca Mexico, where we built our little paradise by the ocean. We spent many weeks a year there ourselves and when we are not there, we rent it to vacationers all over the world who love to return year after year.
