'''Zipolite''' is a beach and a small village in Mexico with a distinctive hippy vibe.

Get in

Taxis run from the nearby town of Puerto Angel, or its a fairly pleasant 4km walk down the road. From Puerto Angel, you can catch a camioneta up to San Pedro Pochutla, where you can catch buses to Oaxaca and the nearby coastal cities.

Get around

You can walk through the jungle to nearby towns farther west along the coast where you can see a Turtle museum. Collectivos will take you back, but be careful not to get caught out too late after they stop running.

Do

-Go to Mazunte beach which is 10minutes further up the coast by taxi. They have a giant turtle reserve that shouldnt be missed.<br> -Go surfing. This is a popular surfing area, but its still hard to find areas to rent boards.<br> -Sit in one of the outdoor restaurants and relax. A couple of them as of this posting have free wifi too.<br> -Attend one of the occasional beach bonfires at night.<br>

Eat

A pizzeria is run by a French couple serving up a wide variety of delicious pizzas for approximately 5USD each. The pizzeria has tables right on the beach with a good view of the strip.

There is a taqueria on the main street near Azul Profundo (to the left if you are standing in front of it). Eggs for breakfast are 30 pesos and quesadillas and tacos are 5 pesos. Very good and cheap. Look for the grill set up right in front of the place very close to the street and some plastic patio tables and chairs.

Sleep

There are a large number of low cost rooms along the beach of varying quality.
