Before entering the water
Check lifeguards, flags and Civil Protection advisories. Oaxaca Travel describes Zipolite as having strong surf and currents. A general guide cannot replace local assessment that day.
Protección Civil y Gestión de Riesgos · OaxacaWeather and activities
Follow directions and change plans during high surf, storms or closures. For boats, check safety equipment and conditions with the operator. A rain forecast alone cannot assess the sea.
In an emergency
Call 911 and give the beach, access point and a visible landmark. Follow the emergency service’s directions. Save your accommodation location and share your itinerary with someone in your group.
