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.

Top ten rides of the 2012 Wave of the Summer season in Puerto Escondido


 By: Mike Cianciulli
Around this time of year, we tend to look back and ask where did summer go? It seems like just yesterday Oscar Moncada caught a hollow eight-footer and kicked off the Wave of the Summer presented by Nike event in Puerto Escondido.

But it's actually been a long three months filled with hurricanes, wipeouts, callouts, broken boards, broken bodies and barrels, plenty of barrels -- which is why everyone flocks to Playa Zicatela in the first place.

This Saturday, the Wave of the Summer winning ride will be announced, as well as the season's Overall Performance Award. But first, let's check out the judges' top ten nominees, in chronological order.

“Super Value - The Best In Mexico!!”
5 of 5 starsReviewed 31 August 2012 via mobile
As we arrived we were greeted by the man himself Daniel, our extremely friendly, always happy and always helpful host, along with his very welcoming staff! With the intention of only staying 2 nights we were won over, not only by the views, but by the great rates that Brisa Marina offered for long stay guests and we ended up staying for 2 weeks! Brisa Marina provides a choice of rooms depending on your budget. The rooms were clean and secure with personal safes and each room was screened with mosquito mesh (and ours had en-suite). If you are two or more we would highly recommend staying for a week or more if you have the time to get the best value!thank you for such a memorable part of our trip, Emma & Shane

“Best Cinnamon Rolls in Puerto Escondido”
5 of 5 starsReviewed August 30, 2012
We go for breakfast because it's a great spot on the beach to sit and watch the surfers. All the food looks really good but so far I can't get past the cinnamon rolls. So delicious!

“DELICIOSO, MUY AGRADABLE, EXCELENTE!!! LA MEJOR PIZZA!”
5 of 5 starsReviewed July 26, 2012
Google Translation
Llevo 5 años yendo a Puerto Escondido por un par de días y definitivamente siempre desayuno, como y ceno en el Maná. cada vez que voy el trato sigue siendo muy amable, ya sea que nos atienda su dueño, Franco (un italiano que afortunadamente llegó a este rincón de México), o su gente: Giovanni, Lupita y Mago principalmente; nos atienden como reyes siempre con una sonrisa y muy amablemente. La comida es deliciosa, todo es fresco y desde la primera vez hasta el día de hoy el sabor es el mismo o un poco mejor cada vez. Para el desayuno, el pan dulce, los huevos Benedetto, el bocadito napolitano y la fruta fresca son mi opción personal, también los licuados y los distintos jugos son deliciosos. Para la comida tiene una buena variedad de pescados y mariscos y para después de las 5 de la tarde puedes probar las mejores pizzas de México!!!! en especial la margarita y la primavera son mis favoritas, acompañadas de una copita de vino tinto y alguna pasta preparado todo al momento y al dente. En cuanto a panadería se refiere tienen una buena variedad de pan hecha por ellos mismos que está riquísimo!!! El cuernito de chocolate y el rollito relleno de manzana son mis favoritos. y en repostería también es para chuparse los dedos, el tiramisú y el mouse de chocolate son obligatorios en la cena (si es que aún me queda espacio) y los helados italianos tipo gelato son muy sabrosos. En general este es mi lugar obligado y favorito donde comer principalmente por su calidad, frescura, precios accesibles, ambiente y la vista al mar que convierten al Maná en un verdadero Oasis en Puerto Escondido.
