Sayulita—Vacation Rentals
& Sale Properties

Sayulita Mexico is approximately 35 minutes from the airport of Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita is one of the most popular villages north of Banderas Bay . During the whole year the tourist activity is constant and its beaches are visited by various types of tourism, amongst which the lovers of surfing stand out. Internationally recognized as a major surfing destination, each year in December the "Sayulita Surf Classic" is celebrated. The restaurants on the beach specialize in, freshly caught daily, seafood dishes. The activity is continuous, to such a degree that it seems as if in this village in all its corners everybody always has something to do. The main square is a center of street commerce and a meeting point.

Having all services available, Sayulita still offers the rural atmosphere of a fishing village where you can listen to the song of the rooster every morning, no matter where you are, accompanied by the braying of a donkey, both announcing that the hour has come to go back to work.

Also the marine fauna is abundant in this village and you may practice sport fishing. The catch of a Dorado or Bonita is certain and of course the possibility of catching a Sailfish or a Marlin is also something to be considered.

A cybercafe is located in the front of the plaza facing the church. Hourly rates are about $4 and hour. The closest ATM is in Bucerias. For a bank--including changing foreign currency--you need to go to Mezcales, Puerto Vallarta or La Penita. The liquor store and Paleteria will change your money for slightly higher rates.

Come prepared for mosquitoes. There aren't tons, but they seem to like tourists. If you need medicine or advice, visit the pharmacy, which is run by a doctor. There is a hospital in neighboring San Francisco for emergencies.

Sayulita has received more and more publicity from North American newspapers, and magazines and was even the location for an Adidas commercial that came out at the beginning of this year.  Articles and write ups about Sayulita have brought much attention to the town and brought more tourists as well. Over the last couple of years Sayulita has been in such magazines and newspapers as USA Today, Santa Barbara Magazine, Surfer Magazine, The Seattle Times, The Toronto Globe and Mail and many more. Travel & Leisure Magazine published an article about Mexico's next great beach towns in October 2007 and Sayulita is featured on the list. In the April 2008 edition of Maxim magazine Sayulita is also featured in an article on the hottest extreme travel destinations of 2008.

Last summer Sayulita locals, foreigners and tourists were invited to participate as extras in the new Disney movie "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" also known as "South of the border". Parts of the movie about a lost dog that needs help finding his way home were filmed along the beach and in downtown Sayulita. The movie which stars Drew Barrymore, Salma Hayek, Piper Perabo, Jamie Lee Curtis and Andy Garcia will be released in theatres this week on October 3rd 2008.

Check out today's New York Times Travel Section under the Escapes column. The article about Sayulita will provide destination goers with more information about the town of Sayulita, interviews with different business owners, and will also list a few real estate properties for sale in the area. With all this positive publicity, people of Sayulita hope that tourism for the upcoming 2008/2009 season will increase, despite economic problems in the United States.
