The Well Designed Travel Guide: Sayulita, Mexico
While you may have only recently seen your Instagram feed booming with pictures of the now Mexican hotspot, the sleepy Surf town of Sayulita has long been neighbors of Puerto Vallarta and Punta de Mita, two of the most popular destinations for West Coast travelers in search of an endless summer. But what you’ll find in Sayulita is far different than Puerto Vallarta’s resort-filled Coastline and Punta de Mita’s million-dollar golf courses—instead, imagine an ex-pat haven only a couple miles in diameter with a beach reminiscent of the Copa Cabana.
The streets are filled with the smell of roasting El Pastor and walk into any of the bars lining the town square to find an array of dancing music, from Salsa to House—you name it. This town truly embodies magic in every sense of the word from the colorful storefronts to the vibrant people, it carries an energy that you have to see to believe.
