Typically approx. 45-50 minutes (without the potential of traffic)
Yes! Sayulita is a small, welcoming surf town that thrives on tourism. Don't let the bad rep of some parts of Mexico ruin the magic of this beautiful seaside village. Like anywhere, use normal travel smarts (don’t flash cash, keep belongings close, don't wear flashy jewelry - ladies, I don't wear my engagement ring in public just to be on the extra safe side). The town is very walkable, and you’ll see lots of visitors enjoying restaurants, shops, and the beach day and night.
Sayulita in January is chef’s kiss - sunny, warm, and gorgeous! Daytime temperatures are typically in the high 70s and 80s, cooling off into the 60s at night. Pack your swimsuits and sunscreen for the day and a light sweater for breezy evenings by the beach.
Our dress code is described as Beach Cocktail Attire. Think summer wedding chic - breezy dresses, jumpsuits, or skirts for women, and light dress shirts, and linen pants for men. Nice shorts for men acceptable, however keep in mind it may cool down at night. For the ladies - this is not really the place for heels. Cobblestone streets in town, and both our welcome party and the wedding will be on the beach/sand. I recommend comfortable, easy to remove, low to the ground for the most convenience. Please download our N&N Sayulita PDF under the 'Travel' tab for dress code mood boards, and more detailed information.
Yes, part of it may involve sandy toes! Flat shoes and sandals are your best bet for comfort, or you can wear heels and just take them off at your own convenience for either the ceremony or dancing.
We wish we could invite everyone to bring a guest, but our venue has limited capacity. Please refer to the names listed on the invitation and we appreciate your understanding.
We adore your children, but this will be an Adults Only Celebration so everyone can relax and let loose.
Cash (pesos) is best! Many restaurants and shops accept cards, but smaller vendors and taxis often don’t. There is one bank ATM location in town but it's known for being unreliable - please note the details on our travel page for getting cash out from PVR airport ATMs. Standard restaurant tip is 10–15%, in pesos if possible. You can barter at street stalls/markets, but not in boutiques or restaurants.
Flushing toilet paper isn’t the norm in Sayulita as the plumbing systems can’t handle it. Please use the waste bins provided—it’s one of those little quirks of paradise we all just have to roll with. The beach can get overwhelming with people selling goods. Just get used to saying the answer “No, gracias”. There is a cover or respectable minimum per person to sit at any of the restaurants lounge chairs on the sand, but you get good service. If it’s been raining do NOT go in the ocean. Every restaurant sells safe bottled water, and the ice used in cocktails is also safe and imported on the regular (not made from the tap) - they wouldn't get returning customers if this weren't the case. We hope none of our guests get "Sayulita'd" - but swimming after the rain, drinking unsafe (tap) water, and possible consuming street meat may make you unwell. Treda is sold at every pharmacy and will be the key to your survival if this unfortunate case happens. There are no sharks in this part of Mexico BUT - Urchin Warning : If you surf and don’t wear protective booties try your best to not land on your feet out there past the swimming area - there are tons on the rocks beyond the break.
