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.

The All-Inclusive Resorts of Iberostar

 Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all tropical destinations temporarily banned international visitors, but many have recently reopened and are again welcoming tourists.


Mexico, one of our most popular all-inclusive destinations, is open now, for example. To see a list of other tropical destinations that are open, click here.

Iberostar Hotels & Resorts provides all-inclusive escapes along beautiful beaches in Mexico, the Caribbean and Brazil. The upfront rate includes accommodations, all meals and beverages, taxes, gratuities, non-motorized water sports and extensive recreation and entertainment options.

Click here to see a complete list of Iberostar resorts and to price a stay at any of them, with or without airfare. Our Find a Deal search tool will help you find the best rates for your preferred travel dates.

At family-friendly Iberostar properties, children can play in splash parks or visit the Star Camp, divided into three tiers for ages 4 to 7, 8 to 12 and 13 to 17. Kids take part in a range of recreational and educational activities like reproducing giant works of art, becoming the star of their own video, learning through fun scientific experiments and participating in Olympic-style events. Star Camp is complimentary, as it is part of the all-inclusive rate.

Meanwhile, parents can swim or snorkel, indulge in spa treatments, play a round of golf or lounge by large, sparkling pools. You'll find a variety of on-site dining venues, from casual alfresco restaurants to spots that specialize in Japanese or Italian dishes.

Three Iberostar Grand properties cater to vacationers seeking a no-kids setting and offer all-suite accommodations, butler service and gourmet dining.

In some destinations, several Iberostar hotels are in one complex and vacationers can take advantage of restaurants and other facilities at neighboring properties.

As a leader in responsible tourism, Iberostar's ongoing efforts are focused on creating an unforgettable and safe vacation while also protecting the environment. After consulting with a medical advisory board, the company created an extensive How We Care program with more than 300 new procedures that have been implemented throughout the resorts to amplify privacy and safety for all guests.

For example, rooms are disinfected and cleaned with biodegradable products 24 hours prior to guest check-in, linens and textiles are cleaned through certified processes and new and increased cleaning protocols are in place for common areas. Protective gear is provided to all employees for the safety of guests and staff alike.

Guests will enjoy a highly personalized and private stay. Workshops, activities and live music shows have been restructured to aid with social distancing regulations, and hammocks, lounge chairs and all seated areas have been reorganized to create a more exclusive setting. Family activities are now limited to groups of six.

Resorts also participate in Iberostar's Wave of Change ocean conservation initiative, created to reduce plastic use, promote the responsible consumption of seafood and improve coastal health.

Very unhealthy to hazardous air quality conditions across Washington Share BY MYNORTHWEST STAFF SEPTEMBER 12, 2020 AT 4:14 PM

 Very unhealthy to hazardous air quality conditions across Washington Share BY MYNORTHWEST STAFF SEPTEMBER 12, 2020 AT 4:14 PM

Very unhealthy to hazardous air quality conditions across Washington

Smoke settles into Seattle on Friday. (Getty Image)

Most of western Washington can expect very unhealthy to hazardous conditions air quality conditions during the weekend. Health officials recommend staying indoors.

Check the Washington Department of Ecology Air Quality Map

Air quality is typically measured on a scale of 0 to 500. Between 51 and 100 is considered “moderate,” 101 to 150 is “unhealthy for sensitive groups,” 151 to 200 is “unhealthy,” 201 to 300 is “very unhealthy,” and 301 to 500 is considered “hazardous.”

Most areas surrounding Seattle were in the 250-300 range Saturday afternoon. Cle Elum and areas near the Columbia River were at 500. Smoke arrived in Spokane Saturday morning, with air quality near 400. Cheney is at 395. Ocean towns and Port Angeles are in the low 300 range.

Visibility has been reduced to about two miles.

Seattle closes all beaches and parks through Sunday for smoke

The air quality forecast

The National Weather Service in Seattle expects smoke and air quality “to remain an issue this weekend and probably into Monday.”

Forecasters say rain could move into western Washington on Monday night and into Tuesday as a front moves into the area late in the weekend, which would be a relief both for the smoky conditions and the wildfires. Sunday is expected to bring cooler, more seasonable temperatures and clouds.

In a press conference with the governor on Friday, Laura Watson with the state’s Department of Ecology warned that, “Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean that you can’t breathe it.”

Watson said residents of the Puget Sound woke up to unhealthy air Friday morning, and there were hazardous conditions in southwest Washington. She said the smoke is expected to travel across the state and reach Spokane by Saturday afternoon.

Protecting your health

“It’s a good time to stay inside, catch up on your Netflix list, or read a book, get board games and puzzles, and stay out of the outside as much as you can because air quality is unhealthy throughout much of the state,” Watson said.

To stay indoors or not? Advice for wildfire smoke and COVID-19 safety

While smoke remains, residents are advised to keep windows closed and avoid going outdoors whenever possible, especially those with preexisting respiratory problems. Find additional tips from the state Department of Health on how to protect yourself from smoke online here.

“Unhealthy air quality means that everyone, especially sensitive groups, should limit time spent outdoors, avoid strenuous activities outdoors, and choose light indoor activities,” the NWS states.

The Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences at the University of Washington has put together a list of tips for dealing with smoke. Besides closing windows and staying indoors, the DEOHS recommends people avoid vacuuming or frying food. Also, try to recirculate air with a fan that has a filter. You can build your own by putting a HEPA filter into a box fan.
