Find out when to visit Sayulita Beach and learn more about what Sayulita has to offer. Book a tour with Vallarta Adventures for extra fun and excitement.
Sayulita is a beautiful coastal town full of fun and festivities. It has a reputation for being a surf town and is becoming more and more popular among visitors. You’ll find fantastic food, funky art, great surfing, and friendly locals, as well as travelers who just don’t want to leave. The town is small enough to walk completely around in about ten minutes, but there is plenty to keep you occupied and/or relaxed indefinitely.
You can learn to surf in a calmer area of Sayulita Beach, try paddle boarding, or join the more experienced surfers where the bigger waves are found. You can also hit one of the incredible restaurants where you’ll get large portions of delicious dishes. You can sit and people watch for as long as you like, or try fish tacos from street vendors and sip cocktails under an umbrella. Don’t forget to check out the sea turtles!
Sayulita is one of a few towns in Mexico that earned the title of “Pueblo Mágico” or “magic town”, a denomination given to places that have a special charm that make them unique, either because of their architecture, its traditions, or its culture. The case of Sayulita is more about its hippie-chic surfer vibe that invites you to live (at least for a few days) a laid back simpler life.
Where Is Sayulita Beach?
Sayulita is about 40 km (25 miles) north of Puerto Vallarta and found in the state of Nayarit in Mexico. Sayulita Beach is on the Pacific Ocean side of Mexico, south of California.
When Should I Go to Sayulita?
There is no bad season to visit Sayulita, but depending on what you want from your vacation, there may be better times for you. If you visit after November and before April, it is less humid, but still plenty warm. The town is a little quieter since the main season has died down, but the shops and restaurants are still open. Everything is green and you have a better chance of spotting birds and butterflies that are otherwise scarce.
The rainy season is typically June through October, and you will most likely encounter more tourists and backpackers during these months. It also gets pretty busy around New Year’s, Easter, and Spring Break. However, if you come during late October, you may get to experience Dia de Los Muertos, which is an incredible opportunity to experience authentic Mexican traditions and culture.
