CRUISE THE COLORFUL STREETS
Sayulita consists of five main streets, full of restaurants, shops, bars, music and some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Have fun exploring this colorful little town!
RELAX ON THE BEACH
The main attraction of Sayulita isn’t hard to find: it’s the beach. Calm in the morning while the fishermen are out and more crowded in the afternoon when the sun warms it up, it’s the perfect place to relax.
GO STANDUP PADDLE BOARDING
There are great spots in Sayulita where the water is calm and perfect for stand up paddle boarding. Lunazul and Wildmex are two great companies to rent a board and explore the bay.
EAT PIZZA + HAVE SANGRIA AT LA RUSTICA
Brick pizza ovens, awesome vibes, nicest staff, amazing food and drinks. This is also where we're having our Friday night welcome dinner!
DO NOT MISS OUT ON MARY'S TACOS
Hands down, our favorite Mex food in town for casual tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and ceviche. We very seriously thought about asking them to cater our wedding. That good.
HAVE EVERYTHING AT LA ESPARANZA
Allie + Sandro ate here with their wedding planner and it was incredible. Healthy, organic salads + tacos with bold flavors and the freshest smoothies.
PALETAS FROM WAIKIKA
Paletas are ice pops made from fresh fruit, liquors and every other flavor imaginable. We may or may not have stopped here daily.
EXPLORE LA PLAYA DE LOS MUERTOS
For a more private beach, head south to the Playa de Los Muertos, which literally means Beach of the Dead. The reason for the name? The beach happens to be right next to a colorful cemetery with flags, flowers and candles to remember loved ones.
SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISANS AT EVOKE THE SPIRIT
Allie's favorite boutique filled with the coolest gifts, cow skulls, blankets and treasures. They even offer macrame and pom pom workshops!
Get colorful at Révolucion del Sueño
The most vibrant shop full of colorful accessories, bayadas (beach blankets) and accessories. Allie spent way too much time here. Sandro went to the beach.
