    I wasn't too impressed with Sayulita's main beach - it's crowded with families and vendors trying to sell you stuff life jewelry, fishing excursions, surf lessons, and massages. I remembered reading a random traveler's blog about Playa de los Muertos; and since I'm all about exploring hidden, non-touristy beaches, I squeezed some time into the day to check it out. Playa de los Muertos is a small beach with a nearby cemetery at the entrance - it's actually quiet beautiful, with many of the colorful tombstones and memorials adorned with flowers, lit candles and paintings. There's a lifeguard stand - though I didn't spot anyone on duty while I was there - trash and recycle bins, rocks that make for great pictures, and calm waves. I actually preferred the sand at Playa de los Muertos vs Sayulita. From the plaza, its about a 10-15 minute walk (as long as you don't get lost along the way). For directions, ask a local.

    Absolutely love this beach! It's a fun little golf cart drive past a traditional cemetery that is just like the movie Coco. Plenty of beach vendors selling fresh ceviche and guacamole to munch on and enjoy the afternoon.

    It is called playa de los muertos, because there is a cemetery right next to this beach.

From the availability of parking spots for golf carts, beautiful luscious walk to the venue, beautiful bar and reception area, and the literal steps to the beach, this place was perfect. The margaritas and food that were served here were some of the best I've ever had and the staff worked so hard to ensure that food was constantly served and drinks were never empty. I wish I took pictures of the food and drinks but they were so good that I didn't even think of it! I would love to rent this venue out for my own vacation event in the future!

Plus had a wonderful chat with the owners Ricardo and his beautiful daughter Denise. Where do I start? Let's begin with the food. Outstanding. I started with grilled octopus tacos marinated in salsa pastor (tacos de pulpo al pastor). The octopus was so tender served on blue tortillas with marinated onions. Perfecto. My son had the tacos de arrachera. Flank steak. Super tender beef. Prepared with chile chipotle. Must try. I then enjoyed the tostada de pulpo en tres chiles. Yes, three different chiles. It was not spicy at all- just delicious. Take my word- just order it. You'll thank me later. The place is so beautiful with it's luscious garden, bar and patio. So nice they have weddings there. You'll have a great time. What are you waiting for?

The guys in the shop took the time to get me fitted to the bike and made any adjustments needed without hesitation. They also provided a nice newer helmet(several to choose from). I rode a few days while there, a mix of gravel around town and the single track ride over to San pancho. The trails are found on the trail forks app. Any competent mountain biker would be fine. If I could do it over again I would probably have hired the guide for half the day, just so I wasn't having to stop and get my phone out at every trail intersection. They were building new trails and I look forward to headed back down there asap..

We went to two different spots and the water was extremely choppy (they can't control that, there was a storm the previous night). However, there are two beaches at the location where snorkeling might have been more accessible, if they had let us know about it. It would have been helpful to know that there were other options the morning of the trip. If they had told us, they would have been able to charge us for that add-on. But no information was provided about the beach access. In terms of friendliness/helpfulness, they were amenable, but not terribly friendly. I second the other reviewer who said they kinda felt like cargo. They were friendly enough to a local family who was on the trip with us. Endeavor to speak Spanish to the guides and they might be more friendly. Overall, we came at the end of tourist season and the staff and guides seemed harried, distracted, and ready for a break.

Not nearly enough context was shared about what to expect or look forward to. We kinda felt like cargo. * Water was very cold. Limited visibility. Limited marine life. Unremarkable topology. * Lunch was small. Not good food. * Sayulita Sickness took down our whole group and we were horrendously sick, so if you're reading this, I encourage you to do some research and reconsider traveling to Sayulita.
