The increasingly popular town and beach of Sayulita is about 45 minutes north of PV on Carretera 200, just about 19 km (12 mi) north of Bucerías, and 35 km (22 mi) north of the airport. Until a few years ago, people liked to say it was like PV was 40 years ago. But today the sounds of construction ring through its narrow, sandy streets, which are now clogged with traffic in high season. Despite the growth, this small town is still laid-back. Fringed in lanky palms, Sayulita's heavenly beach curves along its small bay. A decent shore break here is good for beginning or novice surfers; the left point break is a bit more challenging. Skiffs on the beach have good rates for surfing or fishing safaris in area waters.
