Playa Zipolite beach

Playa Zipolite is a surfer beach on the Pacific coast of Mexico - to the east of Puerto Escondido. Waves are usually strong enough, but it is still possible to swim. There are both beautiful palmed spots ashore, as well as ugly constructions in a rustic style. In bars, loud music plays until 3 am. But in fact, there are no good parties. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
