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.

Surfing

Since living in Costa Rica, one of our (more specifically my) favorite beach pastimes is hitting the waves. Surf lessons are popular here and nearly everyone on our trip with Cantimplora Travel caught some waves during our surf session! We were so grateful to have a professional photographer with us to capture the moment while we enjoyed the ride.

Cruise to Bahia De La Luna

The following morning, we took a fishing boat around the corner to Bahia De La Luna. On the way we were lucky enough to spot sea turtles and dolphins. We were told the migrating humpback whales weren’t in season to make an appearance. Our boat arrived early to this quiet, super secluded piece of paradise just as the sun was reaching above the surrounding cliffs to light up the calm turquoise water. Our breakfast came from the conveniently located little restaurant set up right on the beach. After a few hours of enjoying the bay, we had the invitation to get our blood pumping a bit and were taken to a spot where you can cliff jump.

A little while back, my wife J and I got to spend a while in Zipolite on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Zipolite is among the few beaches in Mexico that takes naturists. The playa is dotted with pubs, restaurants, resorts, fishermen, expat North Americans, expat Italians and joyful Mexicans giggling at our lack of shame.
Days in Zipolite instantly slipped into a meandering rhythm of skinny dipping, drinking and laughing. I spent my mornings running on the plage followed by skinny dipping and nude sunbathing. J and I rented a bungalow on the hill overlooking the naked Mexiac beach.
Zipolite Mexican Naturist Nude Beach
We'd a hammock, a bed, an outdoor kitchen area and never much more, not even a door. It was perfect.
I spent my time at the bungalow naked, enjoying the sea breeze. J ordinarily wore a sarong. There is loads to eat along the beach and in town where we found Mexican and Italian food.

Below are a few selections from my journal composed during our week in Zipolite:
11/13/12
Monday afternoon was spent with J in the hammock. Then click walked the period of Zipolite. We caught a sunset from the Eastern end where we drank Cornonas and watched silhouetted fishermen finish their day's work perched on the giant boulders that protrude from the surf.
Dinner at a beachside restaurant and then back to the bungalow for some reading. J attempted to watch TV on the notebook but it did not work out. I am not certain I'm sad about that.
Tuesday, today. I awakened at 6:30 and went to the beach for a skinny dip. I'm not confident the naturist matter will work out nicely here. Not many individuals appear to be carrying it out. I have seen maybe less than a dozen nudies, all guys, and one topless girl. We are going to see what the heat of the day brings. Right now I'm happily roasting in the early morning Mexican sun.
11/14/12
Two year anniversary. Married to the most amazing man anyone has ever met.
J took her top off yesterday! I did not always expect that to occur while we were here. There were boys around the second time she went topfree and she said, I 've to get over myself, as she dropped her sarong.
Topfree / Topless Girl at Zipolite Mexican Bare Beach
Had yet another amazing breakfast with J yesterday morning. Eggs with salsa and green juice. Then it was off to Puerto Angel for the one local ATM so that we'd have cash. Of course, the ATM was busted. 15 miles, a trip to San Pedro Pechutla and $200 Pesos afterwards, we'd cash.
Our taxi driver kept teasing us to have him drive us to the airport by the end of our trip. Home is a long ways off, we'll see.
(Later) I could get used to this. Had a pleasant, leisurely two mile run and then a skinny dip. I could easily run 21 miles per week and still have so much time for myself. At this point, everything else is icing on the cake for my day. Breakfast, drinking, dinner will all be excellent. What else will I do? Read? Swim more? All I need is all around me.
11/15/12
Up before the sun today. Roosters everywhere. Had yet another wonderful day with J yesterday. She continues to go topfree despite gawkers. I believe it's second nature now, and I suppose she'll wear the sarong with no bikini top and that will be that.
Spent the day on the strand. We made plans to check out Shambala, but rather we placed in the hammock. Then it was back to the playa for sunset. We got quite drunk at a pub run by a Chicagoan named Kevin. So intoxicated that we did not have as much cash as we'd have enjoyed for dinner and spent every last cent on a bottle of wine and two platters. We walked back on the strand, me nude and then J collapsed into bed while I feigned to stay up but failed into the hammock. I expected to be hungover today but I seem to be good.
11/16/12
Roosters awakened me again this morning. I'm loving waking up with the sun but I wonder if it would change if I lived here.
Yesterday, J awakened with a hangover and we took a boat tour. We saw the Indio and the Mono (Indian and Monkey) stone formations. I remember seeing them the last time we were here, for our wedding. Next we saw some porpoises. Then we quit for snorkeling. Next up one other passenger and myself scaled a stone formation and jumped off.
Our guide did a backflip. Then J and another passenger decide to bou

Mexico: Mango production in the Isthmus down due to drought

The president of the Oaxaca's Mango Product System Council, Roberto Nivon Velasquez, said that the producers of San Pedro Tapanatepec, Santo Domingo Zanatepec, Reforma de Pineda, San Francisco Ixhuatán, San Francisco del Mar and Chahuites, had large losses in the current crop due to the lack of rains last year.

He also stated that, even though they had exported 56,400 tons of Tommy, Ataulfo, and Gold mango varieties to the United States, Canada, and Europe, the drought had caused a 40 percent decrease in the production.

Unfortunately, he said, approximately 80 percent of the orchards need the rains because they don't have irrigation systems. "Those orchards, mainly the adult ones, are dying because of climate change."

He also stressed that the drought caused the Texas root rot diseases between March and October, when the temperatures surpassed the 27 degrees Celsius.

As a result, he asked the federal and state governments for support to protect the cultivation of mango, which generates about five thousand direct jobs and highlights Mexico's name worldwide.

Restaurateur Brian Rossi opened Adelitas Cocina y Cantinaat 1294 South Broadway three years ago, giving the Platt Park neighborhood a taste of Mexican eats and great margaritas. After the first year, Rossi attempted to open El Guapo in the space behind the cantina, where a big patio and a small indoor area seemed like the perfect place for summer drinking. But a noise complaint from a neighbor made Rossi change his mind, so El Guapo quickly shut down. "I have decided to close until I can make right with the neighbors, and come to an agreement that will make all of us happy," he said at the time.
And now he's ready; Rossi will unveil Palenque Mezcaleria this Thursday, May 19, at 4 p.m.
Palenque will be a temple to agave spirits — specifically to the liquid treasure from Oaxaca known as mezcal, of which some 75 different labels will be represented. Rossi wants the mezcaleria to be an educational center where guests can learn about the history and many different variations of the smoky, traditional beverage. So, for example, bartenders may suggest several different versions of espadin (one of about a dozen varieties of the maguey plant) mezcal from different villages in order to highlight the terroir and technique of each.  
"I don't look at it as a liquor," Rossi says of mezcal. "I look at it, truthfully, as a way of life and culture."
You'll find the entire range of products from the popular Del Maguey, but there will also be rarer brands, like El Jolgorio, which will be exclusive to Palenque in the U.S. Rossi explains that the goal of his new spot will be to showcase a wide variety of mezcal "expressions" — spirits made with specific maguey varieties (along with espadin, there are also tobala, tepeztate, Mexicano, cuixe and arroqueño, to name a few) by distillers in specific villages. One-ounce pours will be the standard so that patrons can sample a wider range.
The bar will stock other agave spirits, but with an eye to highlighting regional differences. So only three tequila families will be represented: Forteleza, made in the valley region of Tequila, Jalisco; Ocho, from the highland region of Los Altos; and Del Plano, a hybrid made with highland agave at a distillery in Tequila. For local, non-agave products, Palenque will stock Leopold Brothers, Laws whiskey and Bear Creek vodka.
The Palenque staff will be trained to answer questions about all of the spirits offered and help guide guests toward the best drink for their tastes. "If they're with us for a year, I take them down to Oaxaca, Jalisco, the raicilla regions," Rossi says of his staff.
A small food menu will also be offered, featuring Oaxacan specialties: tlayudas (thin, toasty corn tortillas slathered in black beans and cheese), frijoles, Oaxacan cheese queso, shrimp and mango ceviche, lamb barbacoa, and chapulines — toasted and seasoned grasshoppers.
Palenque will be covered inside and out with murals painted by Amanda King, although the wet weather has so far put a damper on any exterior painting. The bar will be open from 4 to 11 p.m. on weekdays and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends. There will be no entrance through Adelitas; customers will need to enter from the patio. Monday will be the big day for agave aficionados; all mezcals will be poured at half price.
