Sayulita is a charming beach town on the Pacific coast of Mexico, know for its laid back atmosphere, vibrant surf culture and stunning natural beauty. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a taste of local culture, Sayulita has something to offer for most travellers.
Things to do:
1. Surfing; Sayulita is renowned for its surfing conditions suitable for both experienced and beginner surfers. With many local surf schools you can rent a board and ride the waves at sayulita beach or head to nearby breaks like La Lancha.
2. Beach time: If you're heading to Sayulita you're going to want to spend time soaking up the rays on the beach. The main beach on Sayulita is going to be busy and bustling with life. If you want to get away from that you can take a walk up to Playa de Los Muertos for find your perfect piece of sand.
3. Explore the town: A fun vibrant colourful town that always has something going on. Wander the streets to find local galleries, shops and restaurants (you'll find some of my favourites listed below)
4. Hiking and Nature: If venturing into the jungle is more your style there are plenty of scenic trails that you can take that will lead you to breath taking views and secret waterfalls. The Sierra Madre Mountains boasts plenty of opportunity for this.
5. Yoga & Wellness: Yoga and surfing often go hand in hand and Sayulita is no different here. There are many studios that offer daily sessions, retreats and workshops. There is something to fit all level of yogis.
Getting Around:
Sayulita is a relatively small town and therefore is easy enough to walk around on foot. Bicycles and golf carts are also available readily for hire to make the journey a little more enjoyable. There are also local taxi's and buses for longer journeys.
When to Visit:
Sayulita is nicest during the hot dry season which runs from November to April. During these months you can expect warm, sunny weather. The main tourist season also falls within this time -the busiest around the holidays and spring break (March).
If you're looking for cooler temperatures and don't mind the occasional rain shower May, June, September, October may suits you better.
Tips:
- Respect the Environment: Sayulita is home to a lot of marine wildlife including the lovely sea turtles that call it home when its time to lay their eggs. Please be respectful by disposing of your waste responsibly, avoiding single use plastics, opting to eat in instead of taking away and supporting local eco friendly businesses.
- Cash is King: While some of the local businesses accept credit card most do not. It is helpful to always have cash with you, especially for smaller transactions and purchases.
- Eating gluten-free: Most establishments are very good with this although there is sometimes confusion about corn being gluten. I would recommend writing out a card in Spanish of your allergies if you have them so you can give it to the restaurants if need be.

Sayulita is a long-loved beach town on Mexico’s Pacific coast famously known for its consistent and welcoming surf. The once sleepy town has exploded in popularity over the past 5 years, which means it can skew a little expensive by Mexico standards. Nonetheless, with cheap, direct flights to Puerto Vallarta, it still makes an ideal destination for a lively weekend getaway with your friends, or a laidback, health-focused escape — choose your own adventure! Just don’t forget to explore outside the center of town. This area has a lot to offer.
