So far, organic growth thanks to newfound tourism has created a local, pleasant surf town vibe in Sayulita that is not found in the hustle and bustle of nearby Puerto Vallarta. Even though many of the businesses are most definitely there because of tourism, the town has done a nice job overall of keeping them authentic and feeling local -- something we greatly appreciate. surfboards can be rented right off the beach for less than $25 a day and multi-person bungalows can be rented for as little as $90/night (there are also cheap hostels and a a campground). We recommend you not hesitate, because as great as the town is at the moment, we see small signs of infection - such as annoying beach vendors and aggressive restaurant greeters - that could very well begin to change the feel of the town in the coming years. We have our fingers crossed, but we aren't holding our breath given the direction most other Mexican destinations have gone with their approach to tourism. So go!
Beyond. Small town surf town vibes.
