18 Best and Fun Things To Do In Sayulita, Mexico


TouristWire Editors

Sayulita is a quaint coastal village situated at the foot of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range on the Pacific coast of Mexico.

It’s a relatively well-known destination thanks to its beaches, which provide ample opportunities for surfing and other recreational activities.

One of the most popular beaches in the area is Playa De Los Muertos, which has smaller waves than Central Sayulita Beach, making it an excellent spot for swimming and sunbathing.

Sayulita is also home to many cultural attractions, Mercado del Pueblo being one of them. This lively marketplace sells everything from traditional Mexican cuisine to beautiful locally-made arts and crafts. It’s also a great place for a sundowner after a long day of sightseeing or playing in the surf.
