Today I went exploring! And what did I find? Playa Malpaso, the most pristine beach near Sayulita. And when I say pristine, I mean exactly that, it was extraordinary in every way. The route I took was from the beach in Sayulita. I have since read however that this is not the most recommended route …
Ok I know this might be a weird topic for a post, but my shoes have gotten trashed here! If you are coming for a visit, you might like to see the ground under your feet. It might just save a good pair of shoes from being destroyed. This is what your shoes will step …
Sayulita is a surf town, and has been so for a very long time. It is what draws many of the visitors the town sees every year. A perfect place to learn to surf and South Beach is where it’s at! Sayulita has a beautiful long stretch of coast line right in front of the …
The four main neighbourhoods in Sayulita are North End, South End, Gringo Hill and Downtown. I have previously posted about my discoveries in the North & South Ends. Today I went into the Gringo Hill area and walked around exploring in more depth. What I found was the best views from Gringo Hill in Sayulita …
I love shopping. So many things catch my eye from artwork to food products. Walking around a new area can take so long for all the stops and starts, for there are always things I must look at! 😊 Tempting shopping in downtown Sayulita has been both interesting and surprising. There is quite a varying …
Most of the town of Sayulita is on the water side of the highway that heads to Punta de Mita. This largest area contains four neighbourhoods, South End, Downtown, Gringo Hill and North End. Yesterday I wrote a post about my explorations of the North End. Today I’ve been street walking in the South End …
There are four main areas that make up the largest portion of the town of Sayulita, Mexico. They are Downtown, Gringo Hill, North End and South End. Today I was checking out North End & Nanzal in Sayulita. It was leg workout day, that’s for sure! 🙂 Av. del Palmar is one long road that …
The travelling carnival is in town this week, its been so fun to see what rides and games are available. It’s Sayulita Days, diggin’ the carnival every night of the week here. The games are interesting and popular, while the rides are definitely old school, bright, loud and clunky. It is the first time I …
If South beach is just too busy for you and you have already spent time on North beach, there is another place close to town. Looking for a hidden beach to explore? Playa de Los Muertos, Sayulita’s secret beach is just a hop skip and a jump from town. There are two routes to this …
Today is February 24th, that means it is a special day for Mexico! This morning we all gathered for a celebration in Sayulita, Happy Flag Day! On this day every year since 1937, the Mexican people honour their beautiful flag and everything that it represents. I went for a walk this morning, down to the …
I had the chance to visit another cemetery, the Cemeterio de Sayulita. I would think when the location was first selected, it was most likely a beautiful and serene space. However, today, Sayulita’s not so private cemetery is getting hemmed in by new construction and has become a shortcut to other destinations. The main entrance …
Readers will already know of my admiration of doors. Where ever I travel, I notice and photograph front and gate doors, usually of homes. I can positively tell you that there are some outstanding doors in Sayulita! I think of front doors sort of like eyes. They are a window of sorts, an entry into …
The busiest beach in Sayulita is South Beach, closest to downtown and packed full of beach bars, clubs, noise, people and of course surfers. I am lovin’ north beach in Sayulita for the exact opposite reasons. 🙂 This stretch of beach will start where the river empties into the ocean and end at a large …
I’m staying in the flat today. While I feel I have improved over yesterday, I need to let my body recover more before I make demands of it. I’m so glad I followed my tried and tested rule on the first day I arrived here in Sayulita. Why foresight is so valuable is allowing me …
Awwww bummer! I got the Sayulita sickness on day 2 in town! What the heck? I have read for years about the struggles Sayulita has had with its sanitation, or lack there of. Before a new sewer treatment plant was put in a couple of years ago, it was thought that all the the sickness …
Ok so Sayulita is not a big town by any stretch of the imagination, but boy has it grown since I was last here 15 years ago! Mexico’s not so little surfing village, Sayulita is a lot larger and developed than I was expecting it to be. I have been reading for years now that …
I have come to the end of my time spent in these three towns of Los Ayala, Rincon de Guayabitos and La Penita de Jaltemba. It’s fitting I post about the cutest & most lovable animals around town that I have seen in my two weeks here. For seeing these animals, meeting them and having …
Walking around La Penita de Jaltemba has afforded me the privilege of finding places both on and off the beaten path. In this post I will show you a few interesting tidbits about La Penita that have stood out for me. When I first saw this large complex, I thought it must be a bull …
At the northern end of La Penita de Jaltemba is the rural neighbourhood of Colonia Paraiso Escondido. This rustic community runs alongside Playa El Naranjo, an epic & pristine beach in Nayarit. If you are already visiting La Penita I encourage you to walk up to this stretch of sandy heaven. The beach in La …
For the last week or so, I have noticed an ever increasing number of Valentines Day displays on the sidewalks in front of the stores. Today, it’s a busy Valentine’s Day in Mexico for sure! I went into Guayabitos and then back to La Penita for my walk-a-bout town this morning. In La Penita I …
