Sayulita

Just 33-km northwest of Nuevo Vallarta lies Sayulita Nayarit. When dusk falls on the beaches of Sayulita Mexico in Riviera Nayarit, you will see silhouettes skim across the water like floating spirits. Watch bodies dive and emerge, facing the sunset while awaiting the next perfect wave. Each evening, these scenes repeat, painted in the dazzling tones of the sun’s descent into the Pacific Ocean. Sayulita surfers are participating in the sport they love, which happens to be one of the main attractions of this traditional Riviera Nayarit fishing village. From all over the world, surfing enthusiasts flock to this Sayulita beach, like a sacred site, with their boards on their backs, their golden skin glistening, and hearts full with a passion for the waves. Sayulita Mexico, which is just up the coast from Litibu Higuera Blanca, breathes a cosmopolitan air. You can hear a young woman speaking German, a young man waxing his surf board while chatting in English, or a small child telling her father what she wants for breakfast in French. This is truly one of Mexico’s more unique Nayarit destinations.
