Sayulita, Nayarit
- Twenty miles or so beyond Bucerias, but on the Pacific coast, is
a favorite gringo getaway, the small picturesque village of Sayulita with
its some two thousand inhabitants. Surfers like it because the cove there
gives good waves pretty much the whole year (the best waves are November to
April),
and it is the favorite surf spot in the extended Banderas Bay area. A good number of
the finest (and handsomest) surfers in Mexico live and surf here; long board
and short board are both popular and surf lessons are offered on the Sayulita
beach for all levels. There are a number of pleasant beach-front restaurants,
including the upscale Don Pedro's and the popular Capitan Pablo's, as well
as bungalows, villas, guest houses and camp grounds. It's a great place to
vacation and a fine getaway from the often busy city life in Puerto Vallarta.
The dusty streets of the town all converge on the small town square, which has several restaurants, an ice cream shop and grocery store, a coffee shop, the church and town billiard hall, a row of houses and a bar or two facing it. This is the look of hundreds of small villages in Mexico. As Janelle Brown reported in the NY Times in 2003, the town still "retains its traditional lifestyle: residents buy fish off the beach, chicken from the woman in the square, and everything else (mops, strainers, plastic chairs) from the trucks that occasionally drive around town." The town is being rather rapidly developed, alas. The Sayulita beach is long and lovely and is one of my favorite getaways. One of the most useful sites for Sayulita general info and photos is the Sayulita, Nayarit website which has been around now for over 13 years, and the informative SayulitaLife.com site as well.
