About Sayulita

Sayulita is located on the west coast of Mexico, about 35 minutes north of the Puerto Vallarta airport. The village is on the ocean with miles of sandy beaches and is home to approximately 2500 residents. It is a perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy fishing, swimming, surfing or just a quiet walk on the beach. Fresh seafood is abundant in a number of the local restaurants.

The village is surrounded by lush jungle. The area is semi-tropical with two primary seasons, rainy and dry. The dry season runs from October until late June. Both seasons have special advantages but most northern travelers aim for the months between November and June.

Sayulita is a world away from nearby Puerto Vallarta and its huge resorts, discos and parasailing. In fact, many say Sayulita is what Puerto Vallarta was 40 years ago. Sayulita's slow pace makes it hard to leave -- evidenced by the number of northerners building winter homes.
