 Much more low key than Vallarta, the shoreline of this picturesque fishing village is dotted with coves and beaches popular with day trippers from PV and surfers from around the world who converge here to ride the gentle breakers to shore — lessons and board rentals available. This is the Mexico that Puerto Vallarta was a couple of decades ago, fishing, farming, fiestas and siestas primary activities, its dusty streets dotted with lazy dogs ritualistically hosed morning and evening while children play with twigs and tires. And the town square is lovely, with lots of benches, shade, and good people watching, especially in the evenings. Accommodations are intimate, no major hotels detracting from Sayulita's earthy charm, the classy eateries and shops popping up adding a 'trendy' feel to the place.
