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.

Whats in Mazunte, Oaxaca?!


Turtle MazunteMazunte is a small beach town on the Pacific coast in Oaxaca, Mexico located 22 km soutwest of San Pedro Pochutla on coastal Highway 200, 10 km to the west of Puerto Angel and just about 1 km from San Agustinillo and 264 km south of the capital of Oaxaca.
Some sources state that “Mazunte” is derived from a Nahuatl phrase, “maxotetia” which means, “Please deposit eggs here”. However, older residents of the community state that it is from the word “mizontle,” used by locals to refer to acrab species that used to be very abundant in the area.
Mazunte has a fine, curving, and sandy beach on a scenic bay, an interestingturtle center, and a good variety of basic and fancier places to stay and eat.
The village is well known as a travelers’ hangout and has a number of foreign residents, attracted by the area’s beauty and laid-back atmosphere. There’s something of hippie vibe.
Mazunte’s economic mainstays used to be turtle meat and eggs: after the turtle industry was banned in 1990, it turned to ecotourism.
The main road running through the middle of Mazunte is called Paseo del Mazunte.
Four lanes run about 500 m from the road to the beach: in east-to-west order they are Andador Golfina, Andador Carey, Andador La Barrita and Calle Rinconcito, this last leading down to the part of the beach called El Rinconcito, which is the best bit for swimming.
The cape Punta Cometa closes off the west end of the bay. A rough track off Calle Rinconcito heads 750m west to Playa Mermejita, a beautiful long, wild beach with a handful of attractive accommodations, some scaling its jungly slopes, unfortunately, tricky currents and strong waves make swimming inadvisable.

Turtle center

The much-visited Mexican Turtle Center, at the east end of Mazunte, is an aquarium and research center that contains specimens of five of Mexico’s seven marine turtle species, plus some freshwater and land varieties.
They’re on view in fairly large tanks; it’s enthralling to get a close-up view of these creatures, some of which are big!

Natural cosmetics in Mazunte

This small cooperative, toward the west end of Mazunte, makes and sells products such as shampoo, cosmetics, mosquito repellent, soap and arnica cream, usingnatural sources like maize, coconut and essential oils. It also sells organic coffee and tahini, and you can have a look at the workshop while here.
