Chacala IV Sayulita, Mexico

Sayulita

We ventured out of Chacala and went south for one hour

to the town of Sayulita.

A couple we met from the states that is living here for six months said it was really fun if we have never been and completely safe.

So we headed out in the morning.

Onto the "jungle highway" I call it because it is mostly surrounded by lush green trees. 

We finally arrive to the coastal town of Sayulita.

Wait first I gotta show you this bug I bumped into on way to grocery this morning.

Check it out.. 

Completely harmless, but HUGE!!!

The ladies could not figure out what to call it.

Anyway, onto Sayulita what a adventure.

You drive Into the town and you are greeted with a entirely different look.

Its a cross between Pismo Beach and San luis obispo.

It is definitley different.

Okay onward.  

Chacala is definitely mostly Mexicans in the tourist areas.

Sayulita has a mixture.  There are a ton of Americans and it was so refreshing. Enjoy Chacala but I am a American so it was great to be around some.  Funny huh.

We had a great day.  They cater to American tourist;

For example i ordered chinese chicken salad (extememely salty btw) and Jason ordered a sandwich it was just goofy, but at this point in week we were craving something familiar.  Not so much.  It was okay.  A+ for presentation though and service.  I've never been asked so many times if i would like "chopsticks".

Onward.

Look how beautiful it is...

Do you see all the surfers?  Huge surf spot and tons of tourist watching.

Very busy compared to Chacala. You dont see it but to my left a ton of chairs and people eating and drinking at restraunts on the beach just lined up watching.  

The shopping was really fun.

So many choices and so much to look at; lots of boutiques and stands.

Highly recommend waiting for trinkets until you go to Sayulita.  Much cheaper than Chacala beach vendors.  Be prepared beach vendors are everywhere.

People are friendly thats me in middle.

On a street full of shops with beach in background.

 

One thing we loved was this popsicle store.

Check out all these choices it was amazing.

I ended up with chocolate coconut it was s GOOD!!!

i took this picture just for my brother.  I know he probably already knows what a hot spot this is for surfing...just to let him know i was thinking of him when i saw all these boards.

Well let me end on a positive.  

All in all Sayulita is definitely one beach to visit. Lots of beach walking and lots too watch check out these two random pictures we took of happenings at the beach;)

Random.  I know. 

I'll let you just ponder those two pics.
