Sayulita is one of Mexico’s Pueblos Mágicos that are a place with magical beauty, whether a town is rich in culture or history, showcases indigenous art of the region, or has extraordinary legends.
This is a surf town! In Sayulita you will find a lot of expats and locals alike, with a common love of the water and sunshine. It is truly got a hippy surfer vibe, and it’s not uncommon to see people walking around barefoot with a surfboard (or coffee) in hand!
Sayulita is located about one hour drive North of Puerto Vallarta, or 1h 45 minutes by bus. In Sayulita (besides walking), you will see lots of golf cart as mean of transportation. Because the roads are small and narrow. You can rent a golf cart once you arrive if you want to tour around up the hills.
SOME THINGS TO DO IN SAYULITA
TAKE PHOTOS
An adorable street covered in a canopy of colorful flags, is one of the many contributors to Sayulita’s vibrant color. Street “Calle de los Delfines” (street of the dolphins.) Go early to take your photos, because it is not a pedestrian-only street, so watch your back for oncoming cars or golf carts. Later in the afternoon, this street becomes lined with tables and chairs for lunch!
PURCHASE LOCALLY MADE CRAFTS AT THE HIPPIE MARKET
Sayulita is an absolute mecca for hand-made artisan crafts. You can purchase anything from purses to hand-woven blankets, or the famous Sayulita flags made from sticks and yarn, which you’ll see hanging from the stick on the wall in the photo below.
SAYULITA CEMETERY & PLAYA DE LOS MUERTOS
Mexicans have a special connection with ancestors who have passed, and they honor and revere them with ornate tombstones, often painted in bright colors and decorated with various ornaments. Some tombs are even as large as small homes!
Sayulita is synonymous with yoga and wellness. This town is filled with many outdoor spaces offering yoga, meditation and pilates classes.
GET A MASSAGE ON THE BEACH
It is such a treat to be able to get a massage whilst hearing the waves crash, and being in the outdoors feeling the breeze on your body. This is especially blissful after a surf session!
TAKE A SURF LESSON
As you are walking along the roads near the beach, you will be asked from folks in every direction if you want a surf lesson. If you already knows how to surf, you just rent a board every weekend at a Surf Shop. This is a great spot for both beginners and intermediate surfers, and you will even see young doing tricks on their board! A rash guard is recommended to protect from the sun, and also the water gets pretty chilly after about an hour, especially if you go in the mornings when the waves are cleanest.
HIKE FROM SAYULITA TO SAN PANCHO
The Sayulita to San Pancho Hike is approximately 6.5 kilometers and is mostly flat. Be aware of ticks, as they are commonly found in the jungle in this area.
Another popular hike is Monkey Mountain via Hiquera Blanca, which is 7.5 kilometers (4.5 miles) and offers beautiful views of the bay.
WALK ALONG THE BEACH
Walking along the beach is an experience within itself; it is a terrific spot to people-watch, as a mixture of locals, expats and foreign visitors all frequent the beach. You will see vendors walking up and down the beach selling their wares, including blankets, grilled shrimp, candies, wooden kitchen utensils, hand-carved trinkets, jewelry, and more.
TAKE A TAXI TO SAN PANCHO
San Pancho is just a 15-minute drive North of Sayulita, and I would describe it like Sayulita’s more chill, mellow sister where locals walk around barefoot and roaming dogs rule the town.
EAT!
You will find plenty of restaurants by the beach and on the streets, a mixture of all local Mexican and international food.
