Feeling Stressed? There is Sayulita for That!

If you have not been to Sayulita yet, it’s time to book it, and do it!

Here you will find it hard to be stressed! The spirit of the people in Sayulita is warm, friendly, and welcoming.

The cheapest way to enjoy the beach…

Sayulita is a neat place for people-watching. You can rent an umbrella, table, and two chairs for the day (from around 10 US dollars). Take your own cooler with drinks and snacks.

Alternatively, at Coco’s Beach Club there is no charge if you order some drinks and food. The water close to shore is perfect for kiddies to play. Coco’s is a popular choice to spend the day at the beach. Therefore, it’s best you get there early!

Food experiences

In general, there is no shortage of great food up and down the beach in the many restaurants and bars.

In addition, Ya Ya is a popular coffee spot, and their food is great too.

Sayulita Cafe is another go-to spot worth visiting for value for your Mexican pesos.

Sayulita is popular with the young crowd!

In Sayulita, you can expect it to be crowded at times, with plenty of street vendors, surfers, boarders, and even live music. Therefore, it is no surprise that Sayulita is popular amongst the younger crowd.

Also, if you don’t mind the vendors (who can be quite annoying at times), you’ll love the vendor-shopping experience. The vendors sell everything from carved turtles to a mezcal tasting.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEQUILA AND MEZCAL IS that tequila tends to have a smooth, sweet flavor, whereas mezcal is often described as savory and smoky. The smoky quality is usually attributed to the underground ovens used to cook the agave.

Adventure in Sayulita

For surfing, this is a beginning-level beach. Therefore, Sayulita is the ideal place to take your first surfing lesson. Highly recommended!
