Sayulita beaches
Sayulita is a compact Pacific surf town in Riviera Nayarit, commonly reached from the Puerto Vallarta (PVR) area. Think plaza energy, beginner-friendly surf schools, and beach days that feel more pueblo than mega-resort.
Who it is for
- Beginners learning to surf
- Couples who want a small-town base
- Day-trippers from Puerto Vallarta
Beach notes
The main town beach is busy; nearby pockets (often mentioned in guides as quieter walks) can feel calmer. Pacific water is not the same turquoise bathtub as the Caribbean—set expectations accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
