Sayulita

A surf village on the Pacific coast north of Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita is built around a consistent beach break suitable for beginner surfers and backed by a village of colorful murals, handicraft markets, and street food stalls. The compact town center and its narrow calles retain a low-rise character despite rapid growth as a destination for younger international travelers. Nearby Playa de los Muertos, a quieter cove south of the main beach, offers calmer water for swimming.
