There are two surfing spots in Sayulita; a right (longboard) break in front of the Las Casas de Sayulita and a left (faster) break in front of the campground about a 10-minute stroll down the beach. Surf spots located to the north and south of Sayulita can be reached via a rental car. For a great experience, make sure to have Fidel take you out to La Bahia or El Faro; two great surf spots only reachable by boat. Surfboard rentals and lessons are availabe at Sininen Surf shop, one block from the Casas de Sayulita.

Louis Verdin maintains over 15 horses and offers a great Sayulita horseback ride day-trip to a variety of locations depending on your preference. Choices include jungle trails, long beaches, rides through the village, or a combination of all three. For a special adventure, sign up for the Canopy Ride tour which involves a one-hour horseback ride to Verdin's private Jungle Canopy harness ride, three zip line rides, and the horse trip back to town.


Make sure to pack your mask, snorkel, and fins (or rent in Sayulita) in order to experience some of the local snorkeling areas in and around Sayulita. You can start by just heading to the jutting rocks in front of Via Amor, just a couple of minutes walk down the beach from Las Casas de Sayulita. Even better areas are up over the hill to Playa Los Muertos and even on down to Playa Carricitos. The best however, is a boat trip with Fidel to the pools off of Punta Negra!

Though not often marked in Sayulita, plenty of hiking trails offer visitors routes to secluded beaches and breathtaking views. Always free to ask a local for specific directions. A few of the more popular hikes including strolling the beach north towards San Pancho and exploring the caves, following the old jungle road south to Playa Carricitos, and hiring a guide to take your group to Monkey Mountain. Of course, hiking around the narrow roads in the hills above Sayulita is fun in itself.


To many people, a trip to Mexico just is not complete without a fishing excursion. Though certain fish can be caught off the rocks just south of Las Casas de Sayulita, we highly recommend a trip with captain Fidel in our personal boat, Karina. More information is available in the Fishing/Boating section of this website. Be prepared for a day of fun and success. You never know what you might catch. At the very least, make sure to ask Fidel how the fishing has been lately. You are guaranteed to get an honest answer.

Plenty of shopping is available just steps from Las Casas de Sayulita including traditional Mexican artwork imported from all over the country. Sayulita now has a couple of clothing shops as well. Fine-crafted gifts and excellent souvenirs can be viewed in some of the higher-end stores such as La Hamaca. Make sure to bring plenty of cash (US dollars are fine) because Sayulita still does not have an ATM. Puerto Vallarta and all of it shopping is only 45 minutes away by taxi or rental car.
