About Sayulita OUTSIDE magazine says Sayulita is "The Best Place to Hang a Hammock" and "One of the 100 Absolute Best Getaways"... The NEW YORK TIMES describes Sayulita as "The uncluttered white beaches, the tidy surf break, the amiable fishermen gutting their catch by the sea, the tranquil town square with its rustic taco stands and tortillerías... Sayulita is a peaceful, sunny Mexican beach village, only twenty-six miles from the Puerto Vallarta airport, but located in the adjacent Mexican state of Nayarit (PV is in Jalisco), on a different Pacific coast bay, providing an experience distinct from that of a resort city. Sayulita is home to a few hundred people descended from a handful of families, with streets still unpaved and a beach unspoiled by large- scale development. The town square is home to a small Catholic church, hosting colorful celebrations during many religious and national holiday weeks. Over the past few decades, many new winter homes have arisen, as have many new restaurants and off-beach hotels, quaint by tourist standards. You can rent surfboards and other equipment, schedule jungle expeditions, or fish or explore by boat. Casa Luna is situated just above town in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood.

On the beach under a huge palapa. Good food upstairs, casual dining downstairs, full bar. In season they will have music upstairs and Monday salsa nights with a full Cuban band, lots of fun! Delicious breakfast menu, too. Credit cards accepted (which is rare in town.)

Sounds funny, but this pizza is good (and I am picky about pizza.) Cute bar. Vegetarian options, fun vibe.

International Travel

Passport required (don’t forget yours!) You go through immigration upon arrival, showing your identification. You need to keep the bottom portion of your tourist card in your passport (filled out on the plane) as you are required to turn that back in upon departure (you will pay a fine if you lose it). After immigration, you will claim bags and go through customs. Mexico has a push button system. If you get a green light the entire family can proceed through. If the light is red, they will search your bags. The US/Canadian airport is a good place to exchange money in advance.

Barang yang perlu dibawa bersama

Bugs

There are some bugs in the tropics; you might encounter beetles or small biting mosquitoes. These are much more prevalent in the surrounding jungle than near the beach, so keep this in mind if hiking. You should bring and use insect spray. Cortisone and other creams are available in town. Sayulita is home to a small carmel colored local scorpions. Don't walk barefoot in the night.

Playa de los Muertos

Visit Playa de Los Muertos (beach of the dead). Walk past the hotel Villa Amor, then take the road to your left (cutting off the point) up the hill. Walk through the cemetery, and down the little hill. The beach is on the right, and is great for kids. It is well protected with gentle surf. Lifeguards are usually present. This is the best location for younger or inexperienced swimmers. There is also some nice snorkeling in that area.
