Getting around Sayulita
Sayulita is small and walkable. Most cafés, restaurants, shops and beaches are a few minutes on foot from our homes. Taxis are easy to find in the town square.
Golf carts are the most popular way to get around, especially with groceries, beach gear or in the heat. We rent our own carts to guests: see Golf cart rental.
Driving? Smaller cars are easier on town streets. Street parking is near all three homes; please don't block driveways or entrances. Parking for each home is in the FAQ.

From our Sayulita guide
- Getting around Sayulita: walking, golf carts, taxis and busesSayulita is small enough to walk. How long it takes to reach the beaches from the south end, when a golf cart helps, and how taxis and buses work.
- The best time to visit Sayulita, season by seasonWhen to visit Sayulita: dry, sunny winters with whales offshore, the busiest weeks at New Year and Semana Santa, and quiet, green rainy months in August and September.
- Where to stay in Sayulita: why we chose the quiet south endThe south end of Sayulita sits between town and Playa de los Muertos, close to Carricitos and quiet at night. Here's how it compares with staying in the centre.
