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.

Description

We are in the process of opening a new hostel in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. We are a couple in our late 20s/early 30s. Ross is from New Hampshire and Mallory is from San Francisco, California. We have both spent months backpacking all over Central and South America, and finally fell in love with Puerto Escondido. After spending a collective 12 months living in hostels all over the world, we believe that we can truly provide the perfect backpackers experience . The hostel is a 6min walk from the only swimming beach in PE (carrizalillo beach) and the beginner surf beach. We are also 2 min away from the Rinconada which has a bunch of popular restaurants, bars and cafes. You can walk to basically anything that you need and if you want to go to other neighborhoods in PE it's only 20 pesos ($1.50). We are very excited to open in November of 2013 but could use some help from artists and builders to give our hostel all of the character and details we desire!

Help

A new hostel means a blank canvas! We are primarily looking for artists who are interested in painting large murals around the hostel. We can share images of these 'blank canvases' but there is a lot of space to work with (the house is large, with high ceilings, and all white at the moment). There are also some unfinished areas of the hostel. Ross, the owner, is a Civil Engineer and builder but he could use some help finishing off some of the rooms and other projects around the hostel. We could also use some basic front desk help and night shift help as well.

Languages spoken

English & Spanish

Accommodation

All volunteers with stay in gender specific dorms.

What else ...

Puerto Escondido is a VERY cool town. It hosts the X Games in surfing and BMX biking. Surfing is definitely one of the most popular activities! The hostel is a 6 min walk from the sand of Carrizalillo Beach which is a great swimming beach and where people go for beginner surfing. It is a gorgeous little alcove area and you can even see the ocean from the top story of the hostel. The hostel is also 2 min walking distance from the Rinconada which is filled with Puerto Escondido's most popular restaurants, cafes, and bars. Another popular thing to do in Puerto Escondido is to go on a fishing trip where you not only return with fresh caught tuna, but also up close interactions with dolphins! Other activities in Puerto Escondido include: deep sea diving, snorkeling, kayaking, bird watching, visiting organic coffee plantations, whale-spotting trips, language school and a great night life!

Sam's Club and Walmart both in Salina Cruz?
Can someone tell me if there is a Walmart located beside the Sam's Club in Salina Cruz? I have been to Sam's Club last December and believe they were building a Walmart beside it, but didn't pay that close of attention. Am looking to go back there this December to restock the condo again, and would like to know about Walmart.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

1. Re: Sam's Club and Walmart both in Salina Cruz?
Yes the two stores are pretty close together, along with a high end department store called "Liverpool"(which by the way has a fantastic buffet style restaurant in it! ) The Walmart exterior was being upgraded, hence the construction last spring. Once you check out the new coppel store and Soriana in LaCrucecita, you may not need to go all the way to Salinas Cruz. We go in 2 weeks, so I will be checking them out for supplies also.

Thanks for the note. I have been in the new Coppel a few weeks ago and is nice with lots of things, but need some other items such as cheap wine and vodka haha. Sam's club has a great price on liquor among other items. I have been at Liverpool as well and it has some nice household things in it as well. I like the drive to see some other country.

its about 2.5 hour drive, give or take depending on traffic and time of day. The three big box stores (Liverpool, Sam's Club, and Walmart) all in the same area are worth a day trip if you need lot's of household stuff. Sam's Club requires a membership so that took me 1 hour last Christmas and that was with a translator with me.
