Sayulita: Sayulita is perhaps the most popular beach village along the coast, and yet its considerably undiscovered. Travelers who prefer low key over bustling will appreciate Sayulitas low-rise buildings, bohemian flair, and retro-Mexican vibe. Locals and tourists alike wander barefoot, street vendors line the streets and beaches with handcrafted souvenirs and fresh fruit, and most restaurants are alfresco. Its not unlikely to see travelers getting around via golf cart in the tiny town. Here, the surf scene is burgeoning (Sayulita is one of the few places in the region with great waves), so surf lessons and paddle boarding have become popular. And whether youre looking for a great fish taco (we recommend the nameless taco stand just past the OXXO shop) or beachside ceviche (the ever-popular Captain Cook restaurant sets up tables directly on the sand), great eats abound. Where to Stay: The terrific, 24-room Playa Escondida is no more than 150 feet from the crashing waves on a secluded beach. Nestled on a cliff, all villas boast patios, Mexican textiles, and four-post beds. The infinity pool is great for couples and kids alike (with its calming waterfall) and the staff is happy to be here. The resort is an adventurous twenty-minute walk to town through beaches, rocky coves, jungle, and dirt roads.
