The Beach Of The Dead, Oxaca, Mexico

The Beach Of The Dead, Oxaca, Mexico

 

So tempting, but also SO lethal! This beach, more commonly known as Playa Zipolite (which in the Zapotec language means “beach of the dead”), has crazy strong rips and undertow currents that change all the time. During the “rebalses” (rebel) period it’s pretty much impossible to swim here, but the beautiful beach continues to lure in travelers.
Thankfully there has been a lot less accidents since they started hiring lifeguards to work there.
