Covid Testing Information
We wanted to provide some info on what to expect regarding Covid. Mexico is open for travel. You do not need to show a negative test to arrive in Mexico. You will need to show a negative test to return to the US. That said, the Puerto Vallarta airport offers same day tests to make travel easy.
As of 12.17.21 - You will need to get a COVID-19 viral test (regardless of vaccination status or citizenship) no more than 1 day before you travel by air into the United States. You must show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight.

Where to Stay
Sayulita has a lot of options when it comes to lodging. After living in town for a few months, we wanted to provide a little insight on the different areas and encourage you to find lodging that works best for YOU. You should know that everything is walkable - it's a small town! Check out Hotels.com, Sayulitalife.com, AirBnB or Vrbo for lots of housing options.
South Side - The South Side of town is close to both night life & more tourist beaches offering surf lessons/fishing & whale watching charters/etc. - It can be a little noisy at night.
Close to the Plaza - The main plaza and heart of the town of Sayulita has vibrant night life - if you're looking to be in the center of the party, this is your place!
Grino Hill - Just east of the Plaza and up the hill you'll find gorgeous mostly single-family or large condo options. This area is surprisingly quite given its proximity to the Plaza, however, the hill is steep so you may want to consider renting a golf cart.
North Side - The North side of town is across the dried river bed - this area is a little sleepier & a little further from the action. Our favorite beach spots are down in this part of town.

Plan your Weekend!
There are lots of available activities & day excursions. We've found that most companies offer the same assortment & pricing is relatively consistent.
Deep Sea Fishing - Usually a 4-5 hour trip - All boats leave from the South beach and captains are charging for the panga & gas (the # of people is less important.) Expect to pay $350 USD for the adventure and also, expect to see whales!
Fishing Companies - https://www.sayulitalife.com/fishing_business Whale Watching - January is prime whale watching season - if you haven't seen humpbacks up close and personal, we highly recommend this (or booking a fishing trip, b/c you will see them!) Expect a 2-3 hour tour and you can book individual spots or a private boat. Expect to pay $60-$75 pp (depending on the length of tour).La Orca - https://laorcadesayulita.com/

Playa De Los Muertos - Explore the Beach of the Dead by walking South along the main beach road past Si Senor Restaurant and then up the dirt road hill. You literally walk down the hill through the graveyard - Playa De Los Muertos is on your right hand side. This is also the start to a bunch of hiking/walking/biking trails :)

Marietta Islands - One of Mexico's National Parks - take a panga boat ride over to Marietta Islands (located off of Punta de Mita) - swim into a private beach / cave and check out the cliffs.
