About Sayulita
Sayulita is a colorful surfer village on the Pacific coast of Mexico — a relaxed bohemian paradise with perfect beginner waves, vibrant street art alleys, and an international hippie scene. The former fishing village north of Puerto Vallarta has become a hotspot for surfers, yogis, and digital nomads, without losing its Mexican charm. Surfing during the day, tacos on the beach in the evening, and live music under the stars.
