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.

In Mexico there are four different  types of beach flags  to distinguish sea 
conditions and inform visitors.
If you wonder  how to know if a beach is safe for swimming , 
these indicative flags will tell you in a visual and very simple way, 
so we recommend you always be aware of them, and invite your 
loved ones to do so too.

Green flag

Sea conditions are safe for swimming. This flag is the favorite of 
families because they can feel more secure when they see children 
swimming on the banks and making sandcastles.

Yellow flag

Sea conditions require caution, you can swim  carefully . While the 
yellow flag is raised, large and small can swim, but always remember
 to be aware of yours.

Red flag

Sea conditions are dangerous and require  extreme caution , if you are 
going to swim, do so with great caution.

Black flag

Sea conditions are  extremely dangerous , do not swim or enter the water.
