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.

CAMP - Playa Zipolite, Mexico

Retreat and cultural center

About the project

CAMP ZIPOLITE is located on the Oaxacan coast of Mexico. This project reflects the dream of the owners to build a home and a gathering space on their favorite beach : the beautiful Playa Zipolite. A., a designer from New York, and M., an artist from Caracas, wanted this place to be like an Oasis, a small tropical paradise, where the luxury will apear more in the quality of the diferent spaces than in the acomodation itself. This project is really a mix of influences, although strongly integrated into its environment. The team of local comunity builders, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, has been constently associated to the design decisions, sharing with us the local methods, materials, way of build and way of life.

Designed with Anthony Robeson and Marcelino Almaraz Matias

Inside view of the Palapa roof

'Palapa' is the name of this traditional roof, made with wood and bamboo structure, covered with palms (palma real). It is really resistant to the wind and storms when well braided. Good quality palm can last for 15 years.

View of the main building (two workshop studios and a dormitory) and the garden.

View of the cabins. Behind, the owners' house.

The grand majority of the material was provided from the region of the Oaxacan cost. Clay, wood, bricks, stones, bamboo, palms... and was chosen because of its large availability, and sustabality. The irrigation of the garden is provided by collecting and treating the used water.

Interior of a cabin. Clay and Otate (bamboo) walls, palapa roof.

COVID-19 Related Travel Restrictions across the U.S. Borders with Canada and Mexico


The United States will temporarily limit inbound land border crossings from Canada and Mexico to “essential travel”.

This action does not prevent U.S. citizens from returning home.

These restrictions are temporary and went into effect on March 21, 2020. They will remain in effect through 11:59 pm on  August 21, 2021.  This decision has been coordinated with the Governments of Mexico and Canada.

The following categories do not fall within the definition of “essential travel:” 

Individuals traveling for tourism purposes, such as sightseeing, recreation, gambling, or attending cultural events in the United States.

Who is considered an “essential” traveler? 

Citizens and lawful permanent residents returning to the United States.

Individuals traveling for medical purposes (e.g., to receive medical treatment in the United States).

Individuals traveling to attend educational institutions.

Individuals traveling to work in the United States (e.g., individuals working in the agriculture industry who must travel between the United States and Canada or Mexico in furtherance of such work).

Individuals traveling for emergency response and public health purposes (e.g., government officials or emergency responders entering the United States to support federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial government efforts to respond to COVID-19 or other emergencies).

Individuals engaged in lawful cross-border trade (e.g., truck drivers supporting the movement of cargo between the United States and Canada and Mexico).
