About Sayulita
Sayulita is a peaceful, sunny Mexican beach village, only twenty-six miles from the Puerto Vallarta airport, but located in the adjacent Mexican state of Nayarit (PV is in Jalisco), on a different Pacific coast bay, providing an experience distinct from that of a resort city. Sayulita is home to a few hundred people descended from a handful of families, with cobblestone streets and a beach unspoiled by large scale development. The town square is home to a small Catholic church, hosting colorful celebrations during many religious and national holiday weeks. Over the past few decades, many new vacation homes have arisen, as have many new restaurants and off-beach hotels, quaint by tourist standards. You can rent surfboards and other equipment, schedule jungle expeditions, fish or explore by boat, all arranged at the house with your hostess.

 

Time Zone
As of April 2010 Sayulita has moved to Central time so there is no longer a time change from Puerto Vallarta to Sayulita.

 

Money
As of October 2017 there is now a bank “Intercam” in Sayulita with 2 ATM’s in the front. Much of Sayulita still runs on a cash economy, so get pesos from the money exchange or ATM’s in the airport or in Sayulita. There are several ATM’s and money exchanges just off the main plaza in Sayulita. Note: some of the larger local restaurants and galleries are now accepting credit cards but make sure to ask if they they do so as not to be surprised when your bill arrives and it is cash only

Bugs
There are some bugs in the tropics especially during the summer more humid months; you might encounter beetles or small biting mosquitoes.
