"
Playa Malpaso gets its name from the challenging terrain ('mal paso' meaning 'bad step') 🪬, but it’s worth the effort.
You can reach this secluded beach by hiking from the north side of Sayulita. The walk itself is an adventure, and once you arrive, you’ll be rewarded with a tranquil and less crowded spot, perfect for a peaceful day by the ocean or the perfect sunset view."

"45 minute moderate hike through the jungle to a beautifully empty stretch of beach. Follow Sayulita main beach north until you reach the end and find a path into the trees. It’s intuitive. "
