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.

Sun, Surf, and Mexico's Best Electronic Music: Scenes From NAAFI's Three-Day Beach Party

To ring in 2017 properly, Mexico City-based electronic label and DJ
collective NAAFIthrew a festival Dec. 29-31 in Puerto Escondido,
Oaxaca, a popular Pacific Coast surfing and tourist destination.

Besides performances from NAAFI regulars Lao, Mexican Jihad,
Mock The Zuma (whose 2016 LP Gauss was one of our favorite
albums of the year), O.M.A.A.R, Zutzut, and others, the weekender
also featured sets by international special guests, including
GHE20G0TH1K ringleader Venus X, Mixpak mainstay Jubilee, and
British experimental producer and rapper GAIKA.

We sent Mexico City photographer Daniel M. Torres to capture
the sunset beach parties and warehouse raves of Club de Playa NYE 2017
in all of their sun, surf, and sweat-kissed glory.
