Recommended stops
You can visit all the places from the list or pick only the ones you like. Just inform your driver about your choice before the ride. During the stops you can do whatever you want: visit the landmarks, take pictures e.t.c. Take as much time as you want within the overall time limit of the trip.
Sayulita Plaza & Beach
Sayulita is a lively surf town where bohemian culture meets Mexican coastal charm. The main plaza is filled with boutiques, craft stalls, and cafés spilling onto the cobbled streets, while vibrant papel picado banners create a picture-perfect backdrop. Just steps away, the wide beach buzzes with surfers, families, and sunbathers, offering a great mix of people-watching and photo opportunities. Whether you dip your feet in the Pacific or linger over lunch, Sayulita delivers energy and character in every corner.
San Pancho Town & Beach
A short drive north brings you to San Pancho, often described as Sayulita’s quieter, more refined neighbor. Here the vibe is slower and more artsy, with galleries, eco projects, and a strong sense of community spirit. The broad sandy beach stretches far and feels noticeably calmer than Sayulita’s, making it a wonderful place for a walk along the shoreline. With fewer crowds, it’s perfect for those who want the coastal beauty without the bustle, rounding out the contrast between the two towns.
La Cruz de Huanacaxtle Marina
On the way back toward Puerto Vallarta, this modern marina makes a nice optional stop. With sleek yachts, a waterfront promenade, and small cafés, it’s a good place to enjoy a final coffee or dessert before returning. On Sundays, the marina hosts a popular artisan market, adding even more local flavor if your visit coincides.
