Sayulita is one of the Magic Towns of Bahía de Banderas, and it is considered to be the “crown’s jewel” of the Nayarit Riviera.
Its white-sanded beaches frame the beautiful waves that swirl around the coast, making it an ideal spot to practice one of the most famous sports of the region: surf.
Within its magical beaches, one can also do an array of activities, such as camping, horseback riding, and exploring the tropical forests by hiking and discovering part of the flora and fauna of this incredible paradise.
Back in town, as you walk through its cosmopolitan and cobblestoned streets, you will find several art galleries and artisanal craft shops that sell handmade pieces elaborated with the huichol and cora technique, as well as silver jewelry, carved wood pieces, and copper and clay articles for your home.
Its traditional cuisine varies between food products from the sea and stews based on maize, like the Soporrondongo, a type of fried tamal.
Other well-known dishes are the “pregnant” fish and shrimp, which are prepared by charcoal grilling them on a spit.
Remember to try the lobster, a very popular specialty of the town.
If you visit the Magic Town of Sayulita, one of the greatest experiences you will ever encounter here is the opportunity to witness the magnificent Humpback whale during the months of November and April, as they seek these warm Pacific waters to reproduce and care for their calves.
