What do you think... is Sayulita a place you'd like to visit or has it changed too much??

@argomaniz62 11 ай бұрын

I grew up here. I’m 54. I can tell you all the changes. Still beautiful

@gavingryte 9 ай бұрын

Good choice on going to Playa Carricitos. Also, good call on going to the north side of Playa Sayulita to avoid crowds. Sayulita is very busy for a small town and you came during the low season. You are right about Sayulita being a good spot for surf, yoga, and very healthy lifestyles. However, there is a very busy nightlife/music scene here. People who appreciate that will likely prefer Sayulita more than people who don't. While the weather and surf is better in the high season (November to around May), if you are trying to avoid crowds and don't enjoy nightlife, you may appreciate low season more.

I vacay in Vallarta often so for me Sayulita is a good day trip idea for PV travellers, combined with another nearby small town named San Pancho it can be a fun, full day including travel, food, drink, shop, beach time ( 8-10 hours)

@cindy7733 23 күн бұрын

I went to Sayulita back in 2005. Wow! It has certainly changed. When I went the main beach was as empty as the last beach you showed in this video. It was lovely and nobody was surfing on top of each other. It was the perfect place to learn how to surf and it was so tranquil. I think there are too many people there now. I think it's a 1 day stop on a vacation trip. I don't think I could spend more than a day there. Too crowded. No peace. Thank you for this video.

@cobaltsystems1 9 ай бұрын

Sayulita has always been a love for the past 25 years, but now it has experienced hyper growth and the town has not addressed the large amount of pollution of many of my friends getting VERY sick after swimming in the water. The sewer line upgrades made a 9-10 inch pipe of raw sewer into the ocean be changed to an 18 inch pipe is what I understand. The prices are no longer very affordable either. While the night life is still fun, long lines to restaurants and accessibility are a problem. I say all this hopefully to make people more aware and to not get sick.

You want a quiet isolated beach? Hike past the North Beach along the cliff trail to small Cave Beach or to beautiful expansive Malpaso Beach - same hike trail that takes you to San Pancho. I was just there a month ago.

Sayulita got trendy and a bit more expensive. I enjoyed it but i hope it doesnt get over run. It was my secret years ago :) Take a golf cart up into the mountains, amazing areas with awesome views. I travelled solo twice to this place, many people go here with bach / bachelorette parties and is a younger crowd. What IS your favorite place in MX? You never said.

Thanks for the video Eric and Sarah! I am curious to know, what would you say the average price of beers/fish tacos/surfboard hire(in peso) would be? I’m trying to gauge how expensive it is there…

@EAntonioHDEZ 7 ай бұрын

I had an order of tacos, a lemonade and a bottled of water last night and the ticket was $205 pesos total (gratuity not included) something like US$11.70 I hope this help!

@RedroomStudios 7 ай бұрын

it depends where you go. in a restaurant it would probably be 200-250 pesos, but if you go to a street cart it would be maybe 100 pesos. its like anywhere in the world - there is a range of prices for every budget. surfboard rental you can google it. actually restaurant prices you can google too if you are really that worried about it.

I would check out Bucerias! It’s a lot quieter while still having local culture. It’s very walkable and safe. The beach is long and beautiful. And it’s easy to bus to Puerto Vallarta or Sayulita for day trips! You can check out this video if you want to see more: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/batmlsiCpszSc5c.htmlsi=YQ4p78lPFreDRryS

It’s ok to say it has changed for the worse. Because it has. It was awesome 10 years ago. Now like you say it’s ruined by instagramming partying idiots. Pumping electronic music every night now. It sucks. Tulum has been ruined too and Puerto Escondido is on the same path. Sayulita is now overcrowded, loud, dirty and overpriced.

This video is nicely done but it actually doesn't really convey any information specific to the place. It's too general. you could have filmed it anywhere and just changed the name. The title has no relationship to the content either.

Did you watch the video? We gave lots of information about how Sayulita has changed - even locals agree - and we gave a run down of what you need to know about Sayulita while showing you around the town. I'd say that's pretty location specific and connected to the title. Not sure what else you were expecting?
