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 U.S. State Department’s travel advisory for Mexico is Level 4: Do Not Travel. According to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, community transmission remains widespread. No states were deemed “red” under Mexico’s stoplight system through May 23, 2021, but three states (including Quintana Roo, home to popular tourist spots Cancun and Riviera Maya) are “orange,” requiring capacity restrictions of 50% in hotels and restaurants.

COVID-19 test required: No

Other restrictions: Health checks upon arrival; capacity restrictions and face masks required in some public spaces.

What’s open: Most hotels, resorts, restaurants and businesses (some at reduced capacity); beaches and many tourist attractions are also open.

Mexico eagerly flung open its doors to U.S. tourists—without any testing required for entry. The country began a slow regional opening on June 29, 2020 and many coronavirus restrictions have been lifted. At first, it was just beach destinations like Cancun, but now all Mexican airports are open to Americans. However, widespread community transmission remains a current concern and the government has established a federal “stoplight” system that limits activities and capacity in some regions.

Enhanced screening and cleaning procedures are in effect. There are also health checks at all airports, but no testing requirements upon arrival. However, as of Jan. 26, 2021, everyone aged two and older traveling to the U.S. from Mexico is required to show a negative viral COVID-19 test result taken within 72 hours of departure before being allowed to board their flights; documented proof from a licensed healthcare provider of recovery from the virus within the past 90 days will also be accepted.

Many Mexico resorts have begun to offer on-property rapid Antigen and PCR tests for guests returning to the U.S.

Mexico saw a major surge in cases in late December 2020 and early January 2021 following an influx of tourists. Community spread continues throughout the country, but capacity restrictions were recently relaxed in many regions. Should you travel to Mexico? For more information, check here.

The U.S. State Department’s travel advisory for Mexico is Level 4: Do Not Travel. According to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, community transmission remains widespread. No states were deemed “red” under Mexico’s stoplight system through May 23, 2021, but three states (including Quintana Roo, home to popular tourist spots Cancun and Riviera Maya) are “orange,” requiring capacity restrictions of 50% in hotels and restaurants.

The U.S.–Mexico land border is closed to nonessential travel until at least June 21, 2021.
