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.

Lonely Planet travellers are voting for the best mexican restaurant in Zipolite. #1 La Providencia.

  1. La Providencia

    Zipolite's most suave dining option has an open-air lounge area where you can sip a drink while you peruse the menu and place your order. The flavorsome and well presented food is a nuevo mexicano treat, from cold beetroot and ginger soup to chicken breast in blue-cheese-and-pumpkin-flower sauce.

Zipolite

Zipolite-lovers like to brag that this beach is what Puerto Escondido was 20 years ago, but that mantra doesn't even do justice to Zipolite's singular charm. No longer dismissed as just the home of a nudist beach, the town now boasts delicious international food and creative cocktails served in some of Mexico's most beautiful beachfront settings. When you're not sipping a cocktail or soaking up the sun, you can choose from activities such as yoga or fishing on this idyllic stretch of sand just west of Puerto Angel.

A short movie 'Magic in Zipolite' by Alex Luke.

An impression of the 2010 Teacher Training by Maricarmen Chavez.

"The Teachers Training at Solstice has been a determining experience in my life and in my yoga practice. The strong natural surroundings, Brigitte´s years of experience and the outstanding teachers that gathered together allow personal practice to develop with firmness, deep knowledge and multiple opinions. If I could, I would attend all the trainings at Solstice, it has been one of the happiest times in my life."

Playa Zipolite

Playa Zipolite (see-poh-LEE-tay), a wide, mile-long strand of brilliant golden sand enfolded by headlands and backed by palm groves, is simply stunning. It stretches from the intimate little cove and beach ofPlaya del Amor, tucked on its east side, to towering cactus-festooned sea cliffs rising behind the new-age Shambala retreat on the west end.
Playa Zipolite, although often good for wading and for casual swimming (with care), its surf, usually tranquil in the mornings (but always with significant undertow), can turn thunderous by the afternoon, especially when offshore storms magnify both the swells and the undertow. Experienced surfers love these times, when everyone but experts should stay out.
Zipolite has evolved from a lineup of stick and thatch beachfront cabañas to sturdy concrete (cheap, and mostly scruffy) hotels, most with oceanfront palaparestaurants. Many of these share a new, paved two-block main street-front known locally as theAdoquín (ah-doh-KEEN), along with a procession of home-grown restaurants and small businesses, from grocery and pharmacy to surf shop, laundry, and money exchange.
All of this, a neighborhood known as Colonia Roca Blanca, is now Playa Zipolite’s new town center. Get there, heading west from Puerto Ángel, by turning left after the children’s school.
Good surfing notwithstanding, Zipolite’s renown stems from its status as one of the very few nude beaches in Mexico. Bathing au naturel, practiced nearly entirely by visitors and a few local young men, is tolerated only grudgingly by local people, many of whose livelihoods depend on the nudists. If you’re discreet and take off your clothes at the more isolated west end (behind the big rock), no one will appear to mind (and women will largely avoid voyeuristic attentions of Mexican boys and men).
