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.

One of my favorite places in Mexico: Zipolite

One of my favorite places in Mexico: Zipolite

One of my favorite places in Mexico was the Pacific coast. Perhaps it was even my favorite place. And for sure it was my favorite beach place in Mexico. Perhaps it does not have white sandy beaches and an extreme clear blue ocean like the Caribbean coast has, but it also doesn’t have sky-rocking prices and heaps of tourist either. It’s the perfect get-away for a backpacker looking for adventure. It has beautiful beaches, waves and an extreme chill-out atmosphere.

After taking a long bus drive through the hills, you arrive at the coast. But better yet, take a collectivo from there to one of the smaller beaches like Zipolite or Mazunte. These are the real treasures of the Pacific coast in Mexico. They usually have one street where you can find restaurants and hotels, looking out on the beach. Every hostel has a hammock and most of them have a bar on the beach. It’s dirt cheap and I had some of the best times of my life here. Life is easy here. Swim, have a drink,read, sit in your hammock, have a drink, have a burrito, watch the sunset, sleep on the beach, watch the sunrise, stay longer than you anticipated. These towns, if you can even call them that, are the perfect chill-out and forget about life places. These are the places where you live in the now and just enjoy the day. Maybe not your picture-perfect place but perhaps even better because the place is real. This is the place where people come to for two days and never leave again. This is true paradise, because paradise, for me, is not defined by blue water and white beaches. Paradise, in my opinion, is defined by the atmosphere that a place can create. And this places breathes happiness in it’s purest and most simple form. This dirt road where chickens run loose, these baches where the waves crash on the sand, this is the real Mexico to me, how I always imagined it would be. I would go back here anytime.
