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.

“Ágatha” loses strength and becomes a category 1 hurricane

The National Civil Protection Coordination reported through Twitter that Hurricane Ágatha lost strength over Oaxaca and fell to category 1.

According to El Universal , the agency reported that the cyclone is located 25 kilometers north-northeast of Puerto Ángel , with maximum sustained winds of 130 km/h, and detailed that Ágatha is moving northeast at 13 km/h.

The torrential rains and hurricane winds that accompany Ágatha shook the palm trees and forced tourists and residents to shelter in shelters in a sparsely populated region, except for a handful of small beach communities, El Universal details .

For its part, the State Civil Protection Coordination of Oaxaca showed images of families entering a shelter in Pochutla , and of a landslide and stones that blocked the road between the town and the state capital.

Ágatha , details the newspaper, made landfall about 10 kilometers west of Puerto Ángel as a category 2 storm , with maximum sustained winds of 165 km/h. But it quickly began to lose strength as it entered the mainland.

By Monday afternoon, its maximum sustained winds fell to 130 km/h, while it was moving northeast at 13 km/h, a path that will take the meteor to the Gulf of Mexico , where its remnants could reorganize.

Near Puerto Ángel , gusts of wind, heavy rains and intense waves began to hit the beach community of Zipolite , which is known for its nudist beaches and its bohemian atmosphere, describes El Universal .

On the other hand, federal emergency officials announced the creation of a task force made up of more than 9,300 people from the area and more than 200 shelters were installed, while meteorologists warned of dangerous storm surges and floods due to strong rains.

Zipolite, from "cemetery" to nudist beach, the best kept secret in Oaxaca Zipolite is recognized as one of the most beautiful nudist beaches in Mexico, however, its name hides a dark secret.

Zipolite, de “cementerio” a playa nudista, el secreto mejor guardado de Oaxaca - Revista Central
Zipolite es reconocida como una de las playas nudistas más hermosas de México, sin embargo, su nombre oculta un oscuro secreto.

If we talk about nudist beaches, we have to talk about Zipolite , a paradise located in Oaxaca that invites us to walk along its golden sand and swim completely naked in its crystal clear water.

Zipolite is an open sea beach , very close to Puerto Ángel and is the favorite destination for couples, friends and all those people who want to connect with the sea naturally.

Even in February the Nudist Festival is held , where hundreds of Mexican and foreign nudists take place on this magical beach.

But Zipolite was not always the paradisiacal place that we know, since according to the origin of its name, this place keeps a dark secret.

Zipolite, a place of the dead?

Although Zipolite is a paradise, it has a well-kept secret that has to do with the origin of its name.

Zipolite is a Zapotec word that means “beach of the dead” . Yes, of the dead!

But this name is not because other people's lives were ended in this place or because there were ghosts, but for another reason.

The name Zipolite comes from the legend that this place served as a cemetery, since it is believed that on this beach, the inhabitants buried their deceased.

There is not much information about this legend, only speculation that the remains of some people can be found under the beautiful golden sand and in the waves of the sea. Will be?

About the origin of Zipolite there is only legend, since it is a paradisiacal place, where couples, friends and families gather to admire the beauty of the sea.
