What You NEED To Know About SAYULITA MEXICO in 2023

[@EricandSarah]

What do you think... is Sayulita a place you'd like to visit or has it changed too much??

[@argomaniz62]

I grew up here. I’m 54. I can tell you all the changes. Still beautiful

[@gavingryte]

Good choice on going to Playa Carricitos. Also, good call on going to the north side of Playa Sayulita to avoid crowds. Sayulita is very busy for a small town and you came during the low season. You are right about Sayulita being a good spot for surf, yoga, and very healthy lifestyles. However, there is a very busy nightlife/music scene here. People who appreciate that will likely prefer Sayulita more than people who don't. While the weather and surf is better in the high season (November to around May), if you are trying to avoid crowds and don't enjoy nightlife, you may appreciate low season more.

[@karmasonik2]

when is the high seasons?

[@johnwillard6198]

We stayed 3 days and I loved it ❤ , lots of small motorcycles and stray dogs ❤ right up my alley ❤ , loved the food of course , also found an AA meeting which I am a long time member so that was great .

[@cobaltsystems1]

Sayulita has always been a love for the past 25 years, but now it has experienced hyper growth and the town has not addressed the large amount of pollution of many of my friends getting VERY sick after swimming in the water. The sewer line upgrades made a 9-10 inch pipe of raw sewer into the ocean be changed to an 18 inch pipe is what I understand. The prices are no longer very affordable either. While the night life is still fun, long lines to restaurants and accessibility are a problem. I say all this hopefully to make people more aware and to not get sick.

[@RedroomStudios]

exactly. that was my comment as well. I always would swim way up by the north end of the beach.

[@malinastankova5580]

I was there 15 years ago and it was a campsite.

[@anatta467]

[@Jetmab04]

Thanks a lot for sharing and, we agree. . The best place in this video - in my opinion - i he quiet beach and the sunset. Keep enjoying yourselves...💕💓💕

[@EricandSarah]

We LOVED the sunsets in Sayulita! So peaceful and beautiful at the beaches outside of town ☺️

[@charliestrong6230]

Thank you for your honesty!

[@studiocelestedesign]

HAHA! I think that's my brother there in your video at 5:44 with the longboard and the broad hat (white top). I've just sent it on to him to confirm but I'm pretty certain it's him. We're Vancouverites but he was living down there for a few months, my sister and I went to visit and loved Sayulita. :D How random is it to spot your own brother in a youtube video; of all the millions out there. EDIT: Confirmed. That's my brother Rod in your video. 😅

[@kathybastianelli6982]

I live your videos and link information. I used Safety Wing insurance per one of your video recommendations,, when we went to Ecuador a few months ago. Thank you!!

[@EricandSarah]

We love to hear that!! We only promote brands we actually use already so we’re happy when people use them too 😄

[@juliebabin]

Mas tacos !! Beautiful sunset !! thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

[@EricandSarah]

Never too many tacos 😉😋

[@jasong.5165]

It’s ok to say it has changed for the worse. Because it has. It was awesome 10 years ago. Now like you say it’s ruined by instagramming partying idiots. Pumping electronic music every night now. It sucks. Tulum has been ruined too and Puerto Escondido is on the same path. Sayulita is now overcrowded, loud, dirty and overpriced.

[@EricandSarah]

Hmm we can totally understand that perspective. It's definitely not everyone's style there!

[@xB0NESx]

Lol that comment is a great way of saying you're old, without saying you're old.

[@malyssavillescas9553]

Where do you recommend now?

[@evang3748]

If you want the best surfing and enough space head to La Lancha! Also, if you can handle it there in wet season from July to September you could handle it all year round I think.

[@EricandSarah]

We did visit there one day actually and it looked like a super fun place to surf!

[@vlukeman]

What time of year was this video filmed? Thank you!

[@Soldado_deDios1]

Agree with you guys, Sayulita change a lot, awesome video and tacos too.. 🌮😋 amazing sunset..!! Hi from Zihuatanejo..🤙🏽

[@EricandSarah]

The tacos were 👌👌

[@chrisruszczyk7813]

where would you recommend in Mexico that is better and less crowded ? Thanks

[@Kendemic7777]

Kool experience!!

[@angelvpineda6843]

I do Agree it's still very beautiful but getting a little bit to crowded fory taste to.

[@s.m.h.7480]

Where is another place that you think would be a little bit better? And I’m looking for a place to live and retire, and just hang by the beach and be in the water Guys are obviously quite a bit younger than I am, but I appreciate your input and suggestions

[@EricandSarah]

I would check out Bucerias! It’s a lot quieter while still having local culture. It’s very walkable and safe. The beach is long and beautiful. And it’s easy to bus to Puerto Vallarta or Sayulita for day trips! You can check out this video if you want to see more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXaZlJiHdsuhecUsi=YQ4p78lPFreDRryS

[@sararichardson737]

@@EricandSarahBucerias is all that pretty unfortunately seems to be on a highway.

[@scottee81]

Thanks for the video Eric and Sarah! I am curious to know, what would you say the average price of beers/fish tacos/surfboard hire(in peso) would be? I’m trying to gauge how expensive it is there…

[@EAntonioHDEZ]

I had an order of tacos, a lemonade and a bottled of water last night and the ticket was $205 pesos total (gratuity not included) something like US$11.70 I hope this help!

[@RedroomStudios]

it depends where you go. in a restaurant it would probably be 200-250 pesos, but if you go to a street cart it would be maybe 100 pesos. its like anywhere in the world - there is a range of prices for every budget. surfboard rental you can google it. actually restaurant prices you can google too if you are really that worried about it.

[@JuanPabloMercadoGarcia]

I would like to visit Sayulita some day long as Mexico lives Comentarios También se buscó

[@JuanPabloMercadoGarcia]

Hola exelente video muy intructivo bien me gusto

[@harishpsgct]

Good to learn about sayulita... Curious question on my mind, did the Eric statue get commissioned in BC?😂

[@EricandSarah]

We're working on it but unfortunately there's an extremely high demand for life-sized bronze statues so the waitlist for getting it commissioned it rather long. Hopefully it'll be finished in the next 7-10 years 🤞

[@EricandSarah]

😉😉😉

[@bernicetorres8384]

We're staying in PV, close to downtown this month and we're debating between a day trip to Yelapa or Sayulita. Both seem nice, which would you recommend over the other and why? thanks, great video btw.

[@JesseGrowsChannel]

Both are worth checking out. Completely different vibes. Yelapa is very laid back and much slower pace than sayulita.

[@kennethhobin]

Thanks!

[@EricandSarah]

Thank you!!! 🥹

[@lychordia]

I would work on your camera skills. The jumping videos was very distracting. I would consider something with a stabilizer. There seemed to be not a clear focus for your video. I love Sayulita. I did see some things that I hadn't seen before. Thank you for your time.

[@ruthhoebel2848]

I wanted to comment on your great video on packing stuff to carry long term. But no place to comment. I found this more recent site. I'm in Nepal and India 3 years plus because of covid lockdown. I throw away cheap stuff and give away better stuff. To travel light. No attachment to gear. 😊

That’s great!

So annoying

This was the dirtiest place I've ever visited! I got food poisoning here during my visit! you guys spread false information

[@patsommer4495]

Stopped watching second time she said aye instead of eye in SAYULITA

[@EricandSarah]

Pretty hard thing to overlook eh?

[@williampettersen5348]

Too much of you.

[@manuelescareno7031]

It changed or you changed it?

[@EricandSarah]

Probaby a bit of both :)

[@nancychandler768]

It would be nice if you knew how to pronounce Sayulita 🤦‍♀️

[@freeyourmindandawaken]

So pronunciation is your only complaint? 🌮waffle

[@kevinlink5205]

You say the word actually way too much

[@EricandSarah]

Hahaha you’re actually probably right 🙃

[@bingolio]

Sorry, but you need to ALEAYS discuss cons and especially security of ANY place in Mexico, and you are not doing it, at all.

[@jakehronek8376]

They literally don’t need to do that

[@2ndSprings]

I always say, "I can't stand people; I love persons." Great video and information. Keep on keepin' on! ALSO, It's nice seeing the sun set where it's supposed to.... into the water. West Coasters forever!

[@EricandSarah]

Haha glad we’re not alone! And YES!! Sunsets hit different on the West Coast 😍

[@Unfluencer]

youre about 20 years late. much better before the influencers.

[@silviasadiwnyk5151]

What is hour favourite Mexican destination if not Sayulita?

[@terrygelinas4593]

You want a quiet isolated beach? Hike past the North Beach along the cliff trail to small Cave Beach or to beautiful expansive Malpaso Beach - same hike trail that takes you to San Pancho. I was just there a month ago.

[@annalobdell7967]

We visited Sayulita for a day while staying in San Poncho. A whole lot less people and more interaction with locals in San Poncho.

[@EricandSarah]

We went to San Poncho for a day trip too and it was lovely! But the beaches were more rocky than Sayulita.

[@theoriginalaceofspades7829]

​@@EricandSarahTry Lo De Marcos next time. The beaches are largely deserted and quite beautiful. The city itself doesn't have much going on, but it's not a million gringos and the water is very calm.

[@OlafGodredsson]

5:42 that guy is awesome

[@richinvancity]

I vacay in Vallarta often so for me Sayulita is a good day trip idea for PV travellers, combined with another nearby small town named San Pancho it can be a fun, full day including travel, food, drink, shop, beach time ( 8-10 hours)

[@kirkmadere5414]

Where do you prefer? At the end of the video, you said it's not your favorite. Is there a place in or near PV you prefer? Or somewhere on the pacific coast that you really enjoyed?

[@kennethhobin]

I young nomads my y wife have enjoyed you for years now and good to see you. We were fixated on Peru but Mexico has been easier and enjoyable in San Pancho especially. This a rare time I connect like this but you two warm my heart

That was one fantastic video! Great job and much appreciated!! If you haven't done one in Bucerias that would be awesome too!!! ❤

[@EricandSarah]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!! We do have a Bucerias video that you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXaZlJiHdsuhecU :)

[@JosephHurtsellers]

@@EricandSarah that video is awesome, and made us smile. Thanks so much for this fantastic work. 💗☺️

[@lastlost4629]

Guys, the problem with your videos, is that we see more your faces than the place you are visiting

[@simpdog1463]

Yeah I will say it for you guys, Sayulita sucks and is a lot busier in the the last 10 years, you cant even breathe for all the people..... The local gringos are trying to control the area and make it tough for other gringos to live and work there..

[@SteveBroeffle-xo7qn]

They’re in mainland Mexico and it sounds like they are in So Cal nothing could be further from the truth

[@virtualstockholm]

Very nice video! Thanks a lot for sharing 🌸🌸🌸

[@EricandSarah]

Glad you liked it ☺️

[@intramotus]

This video is nicely done but it actually doesn't really convey any information specific to the place. It's too general. you could have filmed it anywhere and just changed the name. The title has no relationship to the content either.

[@EricandSarah]

Did you watch the video? We gave lots of information about how Sayulita has changed - even locals agree - and we gave a run down of what you need to know about Sayulita while showing you around the town. I'd say that's pretty location specific and connected to the title. Not sure what else you were expecting?

[@sararichardson737]

That’s tourism for you

[@ruthhoebel2848]

Small essential items flashlight, toothpaste brush and floss, eye drops, ibuprophen, licorice root powder, myrrh powder, shampoo, liquid soap, tape for cuts, hairbands, ziplock bags, plastic bags, tp,

Dude you could pass for Ed Norton

[@EricandSarah]

Oddly enough, this is not the first time I’ve heard that

[@michellecartwright1120]

Great Video 👍 May I ask for help? Might any of you have encountered a woman who walks around selling her homemade big cookie covered Cocada. She has a big wooden tray with 4 different types of coconut flavors she wraps around a big cookie. Very Delicious! Might you know her contact info, Her Name, contact number. What day she sells them around the beach and beach front restaurants? I so appreciate it.

[@Sparkyspage]

Sayulita got trendy and a bit more expensive. I enjoyed it but i hope it doesnt get over run. It was my secret years ago :) Take a golf cart up into the mountains, amazing areas with awesome views. I travelled solo twice to this place, many people go here with bach / bachelorette parties and is a younger crowd. What IS your favorite place in MX? You never said.

[@cindy7733]

I went to Sayulita back in 2005. Wow! It has certainly changed. When I went the main beach was as empty as the last beach you showed in this video. It was lovely and nobody was surfing on top of each other. It was the perfect place to learn how to surf and it was so tranquil. I think there are too many people there now. I think it's a 1 day stop on a vacation trip. I don't think I could spend more than a day there. Too crowded. No peace. Thank you for this video.

[@AgentinParaiso-et9hm]

off course Sayulita changed just like every small medium and big town everywhere else...I live and Love Sayulita it's a great little town come for a vist and check it out 🥰😍

[@ejimenez5602]

New subscriber here. Very cool videos. My wife, son, and myself are going to PV in a couple months for a week. Would you recommend the quieter parts of Sayulita or Bucerias as a base camp? Thanks.

[@barbarapollard2793]

talk about the beaches in terms of swimming. I heard the ocean there has a dangerous rip tide? Don't see you guys in the water except at Playa de los Meurtos.

[@richinvancity]

Let's Go-lf Cart in Sayulita!

[@EricandSarah]

Wohoooo okay next time!!

[@littlesita9452]

I’ve never been into amusement parks, but this really made me want to go to Xcaret. Love your videos 😊

What about places to rent? Would you suggest that it’s a good place to try to live as a single adult in my 60s

Great content. You guys do a great job explaining the surroundings.

[@Grinfas]

Yeah dont go. quédense aya mejor

[@ruthhoebel2848]

You carry too too much. I travel 5 years 2 of everything, and buy stuff and give it away when I leave.

[@EricandSarah]

That’s a great approach if you’re not attached to any of your items :)

[@tammyso.9380]

What month did you go there? I'm curious about the surf's crowd 🙂

[@EricandSarah]

We filmed this in April!

[@hansupk8155]

That place is a shitshow of gringos and tourists. I don’t recommend Sayulita if you want an authentic Mexican experience. Also the wave is a mushy beginner wave- need to go when there is a hurricane or winter swell.

[@xB0NESx]

Lol right, you must be a senior.

[@RaulGonzalez-mh9np]

Hjhgjj

[@RedroomStudios]

dont swim in the ocean right in front of the town. that where all the sewage goes. you can see a big plastic tube running out there. walk to the north end of the beach where it is much more natural.
