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.

Giovanni Lobo ... at Cafe Maya 2016

Zipolite significa "La Playa de los Muertos" en Zapoteco. Así inicié los primeros diez días del año, oficialmente en la primera playa nudista de México. Consideraba que sabía nadar, pero cuando me sumergí en su mar furioso, me di cuenta que no es nada comparado con el del Golfo. Aprendí lo fundamental de bodyboard, incluso monté varias olas, pero de igual manera éstas me revolcaron. Hay olas de tres o cuatro metros, en temporada fuerte llegan hasta los diez. Generalmente las corrientes submarinas son fuertes, por ende se etiquetan con banderas color rojo y amarillo las zonas de alto riesgo para los nadadores. El capitán de los Salvavidas me comentó que antes había un índice promedio de cuarenta y seis ahogados por año, pero ahora la tasa de mortalidad bajó casi a cero, pues la playa es custodiada por salvavidas voluntarios que están certificados. Es opcional el nudismo, pero tiene mayor demanda por los turistas, la gente local no anda desnuda. La playa Zipolite, es un punto de conexión entre diferentes razas y países, es un lugar de completa libertad y libertinaje. Las drogas abundan, el alcohol y el marisco. El movimiento es igual por la noche, sólo que el manto estelar tiene un fulgor muy deleitable a los ojos humanos. Puedes encontrar personas haciendo el amor en la arena por la noche, libremente y sin inhibiciones. Me dieron posada en el Restaurant Chefy, la comida es de primera calidad y económica, la segunda planta cuenta con cabañas para rentar a las personas interesadas. Sí piensas ir, te recomiendo ampliamente que te hospedes con Mamá Chefy, para que pruebes el sabor del buen marisco. Éstas letras son el agradecimiento, gratitud y una pequeña aportación a la zona. La Playa Zipolite es un lugar donde puedes sanar o puedes destruirte. Gracias por la invitación Victor Aguilar Arvea y Danone Arvea, me la pasé de huevos! Ivan Snavely, thanks for the picture!
