great place!
Walk on the Beach or Swim in the Sea
Jetgirly Says: Sayulita runs along a beautiful stretch of beach just north of Puerto Vallarta and the Bay of Banderas. For most of the year the water is clear and lends itself to swimming, surfing and even snorkeling, although in the rainy season water runs to the beach from nearby rivers...
Jetgirly Says: There are many places to rent beach chairs for the day in Sayulita. I usually rented from Luna Azul, where $10 US/CAD gets you two reclining beach chairs, a table and an umbrella for the day (save your receipt!). Beside Luna Azul, in front of Breakfast.Net, you can rent a...
Jetgirly Says: I went to Sayulita with the goal of standing up on a surfboard. I heard that El Tigre was a good surf school, but nobody there seemed that interested in approaching me (was I supposed to wave my money around in the air or something?). I ended up taking a group lesson from...
1 Review and 22 Opinions Petit Hotel d'Hafa is a tiny, six-room boutique hotel in Sayulita. It is located a block from the...
Sayulita Cafe: A Mexican Favorite - The Chile Relleno
Jetgirly Says: Sayulita Cafe's reputation preceded my arrival in the town. The minute I arrived I began my search for the almost-famous restaurant known for dishing up some of the best chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers) in Mexico. At the time I visited they were only open for dinner, so I...
Don Pedro's: Not cheap but good
MexyCo Says: Mediterranean with a local touch. Different from the normal fare in town. Food is usually well prepared and served but this is Mexico and on some days, well ......
Don Pedro's: Fine Dining, Sayulita Style
Jetgirly Says: Don Pedro's claims to have brought fine dining to the Nayarit coast, and while I wouldn't necessarily call the food at Don Pedro's fine dining, I will say that it's darn good food and worth at least two visits- one for breakfast and one for dinner.I went to Don Pedro's twice...
Burrito Revolution: A Health Inspector's Nightmare
Jetgirly Says: I saw the chef sneeze into his hands three times without washing them, then directly return to handling food. He used the same cloth to wipe his hands after handling raw chicken then wipe his sweaty forehead, then wipe his hands again. He went back to work (again) without...
El Espresso Coffee Company: Skip the Breakfasts, Try the Drinks if You Must
Jetgirly Says: El Espresso recently opened on Sayulita's main square, in direct competition with Chocobanana. Fortunately for Chocobanana, El Espresso's breakfasts leave a lot to be desired, and the service will leave you pulling out your hair and wishing you were eating a delicious,...
Breakfast Net: Bad Beach Breakfast
Jetgirly Says: When I went to Sayulita in the off-season, there were times when I couldn't find a new place to eat. Always wanting to try new restaurants I finally decided to visit Breakfast Net (or Breakfast.net, depending on who you ask), a beach-front cafe right on the beach beside Luna...
Chocobanana: The Heart of Sayulita
Jetgirly Says: It's hard to read about Sayulita without coming across the restaurant Chocobanana, or its owner Tracie. Located right on the main plaza in the heart of town, Chocobanana has been dishing up fantastic breakfasts, healthy lunches and chocolate-dipped bananas for almost fifteen...
Transportation to Sayulita from Puerto Vallarta
Radita Says: Transportation to Sayulita includes bus, taxi or a ‘collectivo’ – usually a van that fits 6 or 7 people. I have travelled to Sayulita several times by myself and I always take the Compostela bus from the airport. But taxi’s are a good option too, especially if you have a...
Jetgirly Says: Getting between Sayulita and Guadalajara can be time-consuming, but it's not challenging! The absolute easiest way to get between the two cities is with one of the direct busses that run once daily from Thursday to Monday (no service on Tuesdays or Wednesdays). The busses...
Aurinko Bungalows: Hiring a Surfboard
AlisonCoghlan Says: The shop is to the right as you come on to the beach and they rent out boards and rash vests by the hour, for 3 hours, or for the day. The guy who runs it is really nice, and his son has surfed all over the world from Ireland to Australia. His son also gives surf...
coltoncity71 Says: was not able to bring the price down here as well.
SnowDragon Says: We had someone get in our house the first night that we were there. Very scary because we caught the guy as he was about to enter our infant son's bedroom. 2 minutes later would have been a different story. The robber escaped but he had already looted another house before us...
jcbreck Says: Although it's never happened to anyone on any of the groups I've traveled with, I have heard stories of folks having their bungalow/house broken into while they were at the beach. In my experience, most places have small in-room safes for securing your valuables. Use them!
jcbreck Says: If you need a change of venue for a day you can head to the next town up the coast officially called San Francisco - however it's still called San Pancho by most of the locals. It's a sleepy little town with a huge quiet beach, a few cool little art studios and the...
Cammel11 Says: Awsome spot for surfing. The main beach is perfect for beginers and super sun for the experienced! The locals are really nice too! Water here is always warm!
rebeccaburns66 Says: For those moving to Sayulita, advise on moving to Mexico- Moving to MexicoI wanted to move to Mexico, but was afraid of how slow, difficult and expensive this could be after i spoke with many international movers. Most could not answer my moving to Mexico questions. Found...

I loved Saylulita! It was a nice break to relax on or near the beach and look at the shops. Grab a bite to eat and dont miss a great photo op of locals. I didnt stay long but definitely will be back.
