Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean...a little bit about my favorite little get-away on this world ...


...Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Zipolite (Beach of the Dead) and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, scruffy gringos, and lots of dope. Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Escondido, giving it a more touristy feel than before. Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, the drug scene, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget. Nudity is common on the western end of the beach, and the southern section has a pretty active gay scene.

Be EXTREMELY cautious about swimming here...believe the caution flags...swim when flags are green...follow the advice of the locals.... :) :

The name Beach of the Dead refers not, as some seem to think, to the Grateful Dead, but to the many lost to its currents every year, and the spirits that float through the air...

What is Zipolite? Lyoban explains...

ZIPOLITE HISTORY:

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They used to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

More recently, in the 60īs, Zipolite was rediscovered by young people, who were from all parts the this earth, and recognized as the 'Hippies'. Hippies found in this magical place a great charm for living, in peace, together, and with the few native locals. They 'began' a new touristic concept.

The visitors, some Italians, French and Germans, and other countries, made Zipolite their home.

These new visitors had a strong interest in keeping in touch with nature, and an extensive valor for the rustic life. Far from the modern worlds complications and comforts, and a great attraction for the open-minded life style, minimizing the culture differences, languages, and beliefs.

ZIPOLITE TODAY:

The town of Zipolite is a center of houses that offers hosting services, restaurants, bars, discos, shops, and 'more', for its visitors. Today a visit to Zipolite becomes a special adventure. Today, ZIPOLITE Beach, Playa Zipolite, is an experience that any young person, or just young at heart, will never forget, and will cherish with age.
